More fibs

The fibs keep coming!

The six-line, 20 syllable poem has a count of: 1/1/2/3/5/8. While the traditional fib is just six lines, many have opted to expand the form and link the stanzas.

"I promised myself to fib at least once a day," says Auburn McCanta, who regularly writes for the Huffington Post and her own blog. She shares her first fib here.


On Pie Day

Spoon

Bowl

Apples

Cinnamon

Crust with butter dots

The scent of a mother’s lined hands

Soft

Green

Apron

Wrapped like wings

Around small shoulders

Drying off a girl’s cloudy tears
