Pencil Haiku #1

So eager graphite
Flies across the paper's face
Springtime of the soul

I wrote this Haiku-hack based on some excellent guidance listed on this site. Based on the two minutes I spent writing it, I'm sure it will earn no critical acclaim in Japan. I composed it by focusing on coming up with the first line (five syllables about a pencil) and then worked to fit the rest of the Haiku style.

Upon finishing it, I rather liked it. It reminded me of the sense of renewal I sometimes feel when writing in my journal.
