Comment from Indie Skreet
clever stuff again and indeed nothing to criticise. I have noticed many on fanstory have no idea how to present their work as regards to illustration. Much I pass purely due to the way they do so, but you have this down to a fine art too. I prefer to use words only to illustrate my own, as I want to be able to pack a powerful enough punch independently. I am beginning to wonder if that is wise. I have some great illustrations, so I think I will add to the archived ones and continue like that :)

Comment from RJ
I enjoyed your poem and the picture went well with it. The words flowed well with good description. I am not familiar with Fiboancci, but did not see anything to change here. Thank you for sharing. RJ

Comment from adewpearl
Your poem is in excellent syllable count and structure for the Fib
I like the alliterative grouping of Siren/seafarers/song
I like the simile and the attitude of the determined speaker :-) Brooke

Comment from Earl of Oxford
Hi, Jaq.
I can't offer any constructive critique, as I never heard of this form.
I'm not a fan of many syllable-restrictive forms, as I don';t see the point, unless the lines are all longer, say of 6, 8 or 10 syllables, as often the writer forces the lines to meet the count, but you've done a fine job here, and also expressed your sadness at how you were mistreated after being lulled by romance.
Best wishes, Ray

Thank you so much for reading this Ray. It was just an attempt at a new style. I've tried a Triolet lately too. :) Jaq xx

Thanks for your gracious reply, Jaq.
After a couple of breaks away latekly, I'm miles behind onsite. I therefore just reviewed one from each of those I'm following, and I deleted the other notifications, as otherwiise I'd never catch up and reviewing would become a chore.
Happy NY to you and yours. Love, Ray xx

Right back at ya Ray. I hope you and yours have a great New Year and a brilliant 2013. Will be good to see you back on more regularly :) Jaq xx

Comment from Spike the second
Hi Jaq
This so well done. I see Gungalo had posted one in a while back and put in the equations. I thought 236 syllables was really hard but it goes on to thousands.
Very well done and a super poem Jaq.
Blessings

Comment from October21
Hi Jaq! It's always a pleasure to be reviewing your work:) Great job with this format- though I've never tried it out, it seems so complicated. Yet you grasp the concept so tightly and display the meaning excellently- a hard thing to do when you're watching out for syllable counts left right and centre:) Glad their strength prevailed at the end- excellent choice of words here. Sometimes resisting the charm is difficult to do and it resembles great power and will. They say that when one comes to their end, their life flashes before their eyes- the siren was a similar mark to this and brilliantly original. Not only did this give me loads to think about but I thought the artwork was a fantastic choice as it shows the importance of being in a position of power at the end of one's life. It is rare when a poet can use words to mirror the image and have them bursting with meaning too.
Great job, a very interesting piece with a skillful form:)
It was a pleasure reading,
Take care my friend,
Shen

Comment from Scribbler67
This little poem, in such an unusual format, was a pleasure to read. This expression of triumph, is itself a triumph, and you are to be congratulated. I think it would have been quite easy to lose the context of the words while concentrating on the Fibonacci Sequence, but you have handled it admirably. Well done.

Comment from JM daSilva
Wow, so it means that you did not give in to enchantment right? Was the person not charming enough, or was it something unrelated to charm? Many times I find myself liking a person very much because of physical attributes, but then... they open their mouths and the charm dissipates.

Unfortunately his charm was a blind for more sinister traits. Thanks for your review. Aesthetics are not all they are cracked up to be. :) Jaq x
