A series of haiku lamenting my struggle to write

Callum Watson

--

An eight hour sentence

Its fluorescent emptiness

My cage of despair

Breathless addiction

Sharp numbness scorching my skin

Ink on my face

Uncaged afflatus

Liberated desire

Excuses unshackled

Human thesaurus

Inflicting metronomic prose

A dancing monkey

Slamming the keyboard

The noise is unbearable

I hear silence

The end is in sight

My 500 words a week

Approach infinity

Words drowned by nuance

Cascading invisible ink

Eclipses my mind

I provide sardonic commentary and share my ill-considered opinion on the world.
