Verse First ~ Patterns

Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems. 

Today's notion?

PATTERNS

In simplest terms, a pattern is the repetition of particular objects, like dots, stripes or zig-zags, the cells of a honeycomb or ribs of a palm frond. Millions of patterns occur in nature.  Think Fibonacci!

In humans and other animals, a pattern is an repetitive, predictable type of behavior. Habits develop from patterns, repeated. 

Mathematics is sometimes called the science of patterns; and computer programming is based on reusable, repeatable lines of code - patterns. 

A pattern can be a template or a guide used to recreate an existing item, like an architectural element, an item of clothing or a piece of furniture.

Patterns. Look around. Look inside. They're everywhere. Now write about one!
