2. Thnx! Here's why...
Decades ago I
gave up on the big race to
compete with speedsters.

Can't read or type fast,
no matter how hard I try.
Dyslexia sucks.

Haiku offers me
a voice, and a way to speak;
and it’s challenging.

3. your first line has six syllables.
Drought grips the planet.
Avoid counting your chickens
before they hatch, eh?

4. Oops
And, it seems, I can't count.

Yours hits the mark. Here's another:

It's not Iraq's fault
that our oil pools deep under
all their shifting sands.

6. Fine by me!
All posts in haiku?
A wild and bold idea.
So make your points brief.

Go for it! What say?
No worse an idea than
pirate talking day.
