a poem
on a page
but then each line grew
by the word sum of the previous two
until i started to worry at all these words coming with such frequency
because, as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency

At Gettysburg we turned those Rebs back.
We’ve learned that we need to protect our flanks,
And foraging replaces hardtack.

Now that Grant is in charge of us boys,
Wins for Lee will be likely hard fought.
Cards and rounders are a few of our joys,
Here’s a tip: Avoid canister shot!

Causing the confederate army to secede
Began the day by fighting and blasting 
This war seems as if it would be everlasting

Wanted to takeover Cemetery Hill
But were surprised by a sneak attack and a lot of thrill
The use of outdated tactics
Was added to General Lee’s losing status

    Blue is the water waving gracefully over the rocks.
    Blue is the feeling of peace and calm.
    Blue is something not to take for granted.
    Blue is something never to be overlooked.
    Blue is the cookie monster from Sesame Street.
    Blue is the sky that is limitless and wonderful.
    Blue is the color of her eyes.
    Blue is strong, devoted and honorable.

    The trees appear to be covered in glass;
