SUDOKU
The nines of the world curl, whole and enticing
Fat eights wobble but do not fall
Sevens sharply the space are slicing
Sixes are comforting, rock and cradle us all
Fives are boldly pregnant but sheltered
Fours chop up, down, over and square
Threes make promises, round and salted
Twos are monopods, stomping here and there
But ones like raindrops slip in, here and there.
Thanks J. And Graham. Its hard to explain the attraction of wrestling with numbers. They strike everyone differently I expect.

Great representation of each sudoku number.
Very clever indeed Freda.
Has a little of the twelve days of Christmas about it too.

Very imaginative, edgy with insight. I really enjoyed all of the interpretations, I anticipated some 'sameness' with the 9 and 6, wondering where you might go with the inverse idea. Good flip. 'Sudoku' limits the numbers to 1 - 9, yes?
And the whole world spins about on the '0', or rolls around erratically. But that's not possible, is it? Zero/nought is probably the most important number of all.
'Numbers' are a never-ceasing source of creative thinking, in both concept and written structure, and have been since ancient times. It's easy to understand why the fascination never wanes for the intellectual and imaginative mind.
I admire your input in all areas so much. You inspire me. 'Season's Greetings.'
