Two examples of others' work to introduce the idea, if you haven't yet come across this on the web recently:


One.
One.
Then two.
Three is next.
Five, of course, comes next.
Then eight. It's getting hard to do.



Math
Makes
My head
Quake with pain.
Writing a poem based
On Fibonacci does the same!

The
bird
of time
has but a
short way to flutter,
And lo, the bird is on the wing.

Birds (2)

So,
Dear
Milo
Talks of birds:
They strut to and fro,
Talking of Michelangelo…


Birds (3)

Fly,
High!
Wings droop:
Time’s sad loop,
Falling back to earth.
Yet just imagine flight’s rebirth.

more on a bird theme:

Black
Red
Two tones
on one wing
Sweet spring! the blackbird's here,
Oh, rich rubies, amid the golden meadow grass.

these
are
quite nice.
delightful!
birds and words as one,
together to describe life's shape.

Okay
Geez!
Two here
Three words next
Then five on this line
Stringing eight words together here is a pain!

I
think
that you're
supposed to
worry about the
number of syllables, not the
number of words in the sentence like thirteen, okay?

A
Waning
Moon Peeks
into my room
Covering, like a base metal,
Weariness,leaving me sleeping in silver plated dreams.


--well the words follow the rule, (if not the syllables.)
i'll try again.. (since the last line has 13--
