For every number in the sequence, you are to use a syllable. If you can manage to construct a poem with images and even metaphors in this structure (as an example of poetic techniques that will compliment your piece, all are encouraged) Note, you are allowed to write as many words as you wish, the only restriction is upon your syllables. The hint to a victory here, is in the premise of the challenge, and the relevance your piece has to the spiral, expressed as artistically and poetically as you can.
No needless comments, you have one week.
EDIT - Thank you Atakti for reminding me, punctuation is welcome with open arms.

Serenade, Marinade
Shush
hush,
be still.
Dry your eyes —
I'll do it for you.
Such a bitter disappointment...
Don't you know tears make
meat sour?
Smile, sweet,
and
sing.
Not sure about your comment on commas, so please clarify if I misunderstood!
Thanks, Euan.

In The Name Of The Law
Right?
Wrong?
Ill thought
Poisonous
In the way of Rome
For those not worth their weight in bone
Power will prevail
And dissolve
The One
For
All
this was a most welcome distraction and challenge

The Execution
You
stop
the itch
and notice
you ripped a deep hole.
Kill everything you invented
bury the unused
lug the rest.
Now yours.
Dream
less.
