My name is Pete and I work as a temp for an insurance brokerage company. It is my duty to address, stamp, and seal by hand thousands of letters each week to send out. One might find it difficult to express one's self in this line of work yet I have found a way. Herein lay the fruit of my labor - daily Haikus about writing addresses and stamping. For everyday of work I shall complete another surge of expression in the mighty form of a petite 3 line stanza that is the 'Haiku'.

Haiku #24 (Final Day)

Sad to leave you all
But now I can board my boat
Thanks to Accuquote

Haiku #23

What's this, a letter?
My eyes swell from its beauty
What artist made thee?!!

Each one has beauty
We're pushing the envelope
With penned perfection

Haiku #21 (On Morbid Advertising)

You're going to die
So you better watch your back
You like a free quote?

Haiku #20 (T-7 days until departure)

Only one week left
Where did all the letters go?
Left home like me...

Haiku #19 (Changing Offices)

They taking our home
Refugee writer without
A place called his own

Haiku #18 (This one's too hot. This one's too cold...)

Typing has no heart
Carving stone's too old too cold
Writing feels just right
