Ha!ku

    by the numbers (from the TCPL writing workshop from Hospicare, Ithaca with Clair Jones, September 13, 2025) The snarling clawed things in my chest wrote this haiku

with their inside voice (17)

and: the recommended 17 syllable count is enough

for now (15)

a pendulum of needs autonomy & structure well, AND is better than OR (20)

agency + economy

come together in art, more like this, please, in life (16)

with sounds to spare each little poems is making me smile (14)

Ha! instead of grabbing extra sounds per poem I'm stringing a garland (17)

See what I did there?

if so, please honk or wave

show me you see me (16)

marveling at how many english words are monosyllabic (last one is 5, lol!) (15)

writing: freeing, delicious, free. why don't i do it more often? (16)
