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'.
