The heart of a warrior

Also on my plate is a project I've contemplated tackling since I took Advanced Poetry Writing during my junior year at FGCU. The basic idea is a book composed entirely of haiku and tanka. It will follow a samurai during a small part in his life as he is thrust into a war whose ideals he doesn't agree with. It will be very tough to write since there are strict syllable limits on each; but it will, hopefully, make it that much better when the final draft is complete. I haven't decided on a title yet, but it will be between either Warrior or Bushido; both of which are appropriate.
