Finger Exercises

I've been reading Ariel Gore's newest book, "How to Become a Famous Writer Before You're Dead" and one assignment by an author she interviewed is called 'finger exercises'--haiku's to spark creativity, not paying attention to the 3-7-3 format. Here are mine:

little time
pieces of self and mind
must survive
_________

children need
mothers give and sacrifice
for the ride

_________

waves of love
pouring from the act
building soul

_________

it’s in hope
it’s in the breath of life
it’s promise

_________

Apathetic
divide my spirit into
bits you devour

_________

SYSTEMS
robotic, hypnotic
crushing life

_________

This was a very useful exercise, I highly recommend it.
