Good to hear!! At least this thread has some use ...was beginning to think it was a waste of time if not for the three or four people who look at it each week!

To write my Haiku tri-weekly
But not try weakly
One Tequila Two
Tequila Three Tequila

Mid-week haiku is
Useful for information.
Quite resourceful, Walt.
I haven't a clue.
Why haiku is so addicting.
To read and create.
A three-line structure.
With a five-seven-five rule.
That will rarely rhyme.
Hard for me to stop
Like a runaway freight train
Can't hold back this tripe!!!!!

Tell me about it.
It's just like salted peanuts.
You can't stop with one!
Something just sets off
The brains repository of
Creativity.
Anybody can
Write proper Haiku format
Most won't even try
If you don't "get it"
This thread is lots of nonsense
For me it is fun
Who will be the first

Sudoku-Haiku?

"Crazy talk" from Bill 
Mixing numbers and letters???
Brain hurts already
I gotta be the worst mathematician in the world!!!! As I wrote my (wrong) Haiku about the puzzle, I'm thinking 7-5-7, which ain't adding up to 17 is it? And I used to TEACH MATH!!!!

if they have crossword puzzles

That's okay....we take a lot of liberties with the form here!! Just for the record, all you aspiring contributors out there (there has to be at least one!!) it's 5-7-5 for the syllable count.

i looked down the track
and i thought; that's the way out
and never looked back
that's good will-i-am
except the semi-colon
should be a colon
( or perhaps a comma and quotation marks
but I couldn't fit that into 5-7-5 verse
so I stick with my original premise )
walt a math teacher?
that really surprised me and
it doesn't add up
-----------------------------
my days are numbered
calendared and almanaced
Sudoku Haiku?
Meant to thank you
for what you think to.

you picked up some other skills
along the way too!

most teachers wish
they had a little class

Allison Park is a gas
that's fracking unreal!
