A cross-word puzzle, she does it with an ink pen... before her breakfast.

[My wife loves to do cross word puzzles and is quite good at them. It used to amaze me how she would always insist on doing them with a ball-point pen.
Technical note: This haiku has a 5-7-5 syllable format.]
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

I use a pen as well. :)
Nice touch, that line, "before her breakfast".
with a pen --- wonderful -- I really like this
(Aurora, I bet you've never had to use an eraser. :) )
she would make a good trivia partner
word sleuth
what else is hidden
between the lines

i agree with aurora and your wife - pen for me too
(after breakfast for me though) :)
cheers
My Dad did one every morning after breakfast and used a pen. Good memory, thanks!!
Aurora: Living on the edge, eh? ;-)
Andrew: Thanks.
Pamela: She's not bad, but you'd better watch out if you go head-to-head with her in Scrabble!
Gillena: An astute observation.
John: Thanks.
Floots: Another one who likes living on the edge. Before breakfast makes the "edge" feel sharper, I suppose. :-)
Pat: Thanks. It seems these little puzzles are quite popular.
Admirable.
Especially before her breakfast!? ;-)
i always do crossword puzles with a pen. but before breakfast? hardly :)
Tikkis: Yes, quite a workout, eh?
Polona: :-)
