Thanks, Tony

We all like to bend the rules a little on occasion. Particularly when there is no real harm done. I think you need to go back to calling me "Notty." The high-falutin' stuff has got me looking over my shoulder to see if I'm about to be arrested for impersonating a writer.

Thanks, Dave

for the combination Haiku, comment, and advice. I'm just diving in for a few quick shots. Hope to have time to catch up with your blogs this evening.

Good to see a bit of rule-breaking, Notus Poeticus!

A haiku can rhyme
I don't see it as a crime
It might be sublime.

Not that that one is Bruce. Anyway, must have lunch and seal.

Thanks, Sheilah

I was hoping it would be as much fun to read as it was to write.

Thanks, mariaki

And that is a very good point that you made in your comment. Your words got me to thinking a little, too.

Hi, Ri

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to jot down, though I wasn't sure what kind of response it would get.

Thanks, shell,y

I didn't think so either. Which makes me happy. I like to go against the grain, bend the rules, just be a little different every now and again. It helps keep others off balance and life more interesting.
