“Limitation gives me total focus. Sets me free.”

This is not an original theory/sentiment/practice so I worked it into a Spanish haiku so that there was some original effort on my part, haha. Setting limits is a technique used to stimulate creativity in art of all forms/genres and for me the “limitation” of poetry unleashed my soul, and I constantly set little limits to my writing (like Spanish haikus) to keep things fresh. It also applies to my life in general–freedom paralyzes me; limitation generates action.
