Arbitrarily.

Did Andy. Needs 'is' in first line to bring up to five syllables
Read, act and delete this.
Thanks Dave, fixed.
Andy
The actual discussion, since Andy's comment leaves room for all manner of misinterpretation, may be found below, and is an example of the way I resolve differences when confronted with a poet of reasonable sensibility:

as far as I can see, it ticks all the write boxes .. Neville 😎👍
Ah - but there's been a coup...
A fine write Gold. That 'arbitrarily' is a long word - takes up all of one line of the Haiku!
Thank you Orchi.. That was why I wrote it. LOL
Andy
A response to a response feels like playing telephone having already responded to Dave I grow more confused with each link in the chain
Confusion can be no bad thing... could possibly be the pathway to liberation...
Might be Dave and as for the riddle I have heard of no one that has figured it out. The riddle of the Sphinx and it might take Oedipus to find it
Keep listenng... you neva know...
Will do
Could of course provide the solution myself in the fullness of time...
Might have to given my weak mind
Yes - you do appear to be getting a little fayed around the edges, mate - maybe rest up for a while?
Traveling tomorrow, Dave so I might be a little bit behind on my replies
Well, travel hopefully but contemplate a rest.
Clever, enjoyed!
At the bottom here, I do hope you are addressing Andy - it is his creation. I am only here because necessity dictated.....
Thank you Katie.
Andy
Yay for Dave 🤩🙏🏻🕊️
What about me, I wrote it. LOL
Andy
Thanks Rik.
Andy: Are you ignoring the conversation above? That's not like you. Aren't you going to arbitrate?
Further, right at the start. you could have made the suggested correction and then deleted my post. No one then would be any the wiser. Not good to stuff up when you are trying to make that kind of point.
Without you, Andy, what was writ would not have been! 🤩🕊️🙏
Awaiting Dave’s response eagerly 😛😂
It's there - across several pins around here and probably driving some poets into a severe state of irritation - great!👍👍
mischief - is thy second name Dave ?
did read it - and enjoyed the give and take
keep up this spirit - it suits you..lol
Yes, my second name is David actually, the first being Charles which I have always detested (nothing to do with royalty much). But there is also room for 'Squeaky Wheel' in there somewhere...
enjoy your sense of humor - keep it intact please...
Wot sense of humour? I'm a Buster Keaton fan; that should keep you quiet for a while you work that one out....😊
so do you do acrobatics like him too? or just silent comedy?
and you think you could silence an irrepressible seenager? High hopes indeed, but may work out one day, who knows - till then, stay healthy, happy and enjoy life
Give me a break - acrobatics no. But the straight face requires more muscular control than you might think.... Especially here. I have my webcam camera covered just in case...
The rest - I'll try. You too.
take all the breaks you want , and keep the smile under wraps too -no need for webcam, am sure you have mastered the art of keeping a straight face under any/all circumstances
have a beautiful and serene weekend - take care..
You too.
