American speak,
transformed structure of this art.
Devolve or evolve?
This one was inspired by a YouTube video I watched that explained how the structure of Haiku changed when the genre was adopted by American writers. The differences in Japanese & English language is why haiku doesn’t follow the original format in America. I’m game to explore both formats as I develop. Honestly I feel like the Japanese structure is more of a challenge to step up to.

Pablo Picasso’s famous quote reflects my exact mindset these days: “Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.”
I chose the tag line “No Pretension” for good reason: confidence, humbleness, and humility should happily coexist in my life. It’s something I want to keep at the forefront of my mind regardless of the level of mastery I attain.
