Simply Haiku

I don’t usually enjoy the process of writing haiku. I’m someone who’d find it tight having to wish somebody a good day using only twenty-five words. Consequently haiku feels too restrictive. I can’t express myself. There’s no room to maneuver. I imagine that’s the idea, yet the limits feel excessive for me. Claustrophobic even. But it’s just the thing to teach me to be succinct. I need to learn to speak in tight neat packages of brevity. So I figured I’d write a haiku about that.

What can I say when
words are so tightly wrapped there’s
no space for a sigh
