I buy things for her,

another me; she journals.

Her pens are pretty.

I've decided, belatedly, to make up for my long near-absence on Vocal by writing 365 stories this year (0-100, that's me). I'll need to catch up, which probably means a lot of short poetry for a while.

Let me know if you liked it or not in the comments. :)

    This haiku is as sharp as the nib of her pretty pens! A lovely snapshot of self-reflection and indulgence. Also, wow, 365 stories? You're on fire—keep that ink flowing!
