Writing when I'm supposed to be working

I had intended

To submit every day

But there’s this “job” thing.

I...don’t wanna work!

Oh, wait, that’s a song lyric.

So much for haiku

Or...I have to work.

But I want to write, right now.

The words are calling.

I’m writing haikus

About wanting to write but

Needing to do stuff.

Which…I guess means I’m writing (?).

About the Creator

Jill Harper-Judd

I've been writing poetry and short stories since childhood....but my life has often been chaotic so (mental) space to write can be hard to find. I am a lover of words and the worlds we can create with them. I seek beauty in all things.
