Six thousand two hundred and twenty two

So I'm nearing the end of my haiku diary, having written one every day of 2008. So far anyway. When it's done I'll have 6222 syllables (17 x 366) to play with. A numerologist would like this number: 6 = 2 + 2 + 2. Coincidence? Probably.

"Seven scarves held him in position. Two fastened his shins to the rockers, one his thighs to the seat, two his breast and belly to the back, one his wrists to the strut behind."

One wonders where the final scarf is tied.

I've enjoyed bits of the experience, although I'll smile on January 1st when I don't have to write one.

Meantime, if anyone knows a good illustrator...
