Words pop like mustard
seeds in a fry pan, skitter
across a cast iron will.
Even heavy heart
can’t damp the heat, skillet words
cast by a crossed iron will.

The above is an attempted sedoka – not the numbers puzzle (my first impression!) but a Japanese poem based on a two stanzas with a syllabic count of 5-7-7. For more, check out the inspiring article by Samuel Peralta on dVerse Poets Pub.
