Sudoku Passion Poem by Robert Charles Howard

Sudoku Passion



dedicated to the digit nine

Sets of nine with missing parts -
      try and err and try once more.
            Ah, yet another piece falls in,

Rule some out and others in -
      a line fills up and then a box or two -
            jot some figures on the edge.

Time to turn the heavy logic on
      and QED another corner bites the dust
            just a few more slackards on the loose.

Whoa, can that be victory I smell?
      Yes! and there it is - a perfect square-
            without a single quark of meaning.

                  Eureka! Yes! Eureka!

Must get my husband to translate the foreign phraseology in this one for me - - not being a Sodoko indulger - - ha ha I am sure this must be about the most misrepresented game current - - but you have done it justice I imagine..... won't tell you what I call it when I see it appearing in the house - - oh go on then I will - The Soddin duko! ! Warm wishes fro the coming season to you and all you hope to do musically - - often thinking of your rewarding concerts....... from Fay.
