Here's a cool idea based on a sequence of numbers called the Fibonacci sequence. The first numbers are 1,1,2,3,5,8,13.....etc. It starts with one and each successive number is the sum of the previous two. Example: 1, 1+0=1, 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 5+3=8,....so on.
Ok, the poetry part of it begins. Each line in your poem contains as many syllables as the sequence indicates. Lines one and two have one syllable, line three has two syllables.
Here's one I made up.
Time
Pearl
Beach Comb
Sound Wave Through
Glass, Footprint Travels.
People Hop The Fence Before Me.
Now you know how to do it. The sequence also occurs in natural things such as the spiral pattern on a sunflower. So the amount of syllables and the rhythm of the poems you create with it will surely sound natural and inspiring to others.

This is so cool. I've written music like this before...or somewhat like that...You take numbers..like a phone number, and play the same numbered chord in that key...

THats a great idea to use the chords from a key. That way it stays in diatonic harmony.
