Fists clenched, palms sweaty.
I can do more than you think.
Just give me a chance.

I gave in to the
Insatiable wanderlust.
My own paper town.

Yes, yes, yes. Of course.
I'll stay with you forever.
(It's easy to lie.)

From a young age, I've
Always wanted my life to
Be an adventure.

Fevered midnight plans.
Terrified, pushed to the edge.

I am surprisingly concise in my writing. I'm the student who wants to know how far under the page limit I can go. Not because I'm lazy but because I can often get my point across in much less space. So as a tribute to brevity, I'm launching a project here. I want to write a haiku a day. Of course that gets unrealistic, so we'll say a haiku a week. With occasional filler. Hopefully building up to daily contributions. This is in conjunction with my five year diary, which allots five lines per day for five years. I want to get in the habit of writing daily, something I've never been able to keep up for more than a few weeks. I'm hitting it on two fronts.
