I could have kept going with this "Fibonacci sequence poem" but it started to look like gibberish after word #13. This poem actually captured how I've been feeling about this city's seemingly never-ending winter. Also, today would have been my father's 70th birthday (April 4, 1944), so it was easy to know which page number I would choose to use as a source: 4. It was his lucky number...
Source: Solyom, Catherine. "Students flex protest muscles once again" from The Montreal Gazette. 4th April, 2014: A4 section. Online version here.
Method: In a Fibonacci sequence, each term is the sum of the two terms immediately preceding it; typically with 1 as the first term: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5,8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on. Select an article from your newspaper and create a poem using the words that correspond with the numbers in the sequence. Read more "Fibonacci" poems in the comments section here.

Love this! Because Montreal.
It's fantastic that you could use a regional article!
