As soon as I find a head--
Lost mine in the clouds.

Lost mine in the clouds.
The ghost riders in the sky.
Is that what they seek?

Here's how it goes. . .the first line of the next person's haiku must be the same as the last line of the previous person's haiku. (My definition of haiku being just the 5-7-5 thing, not the complicated Japanese naturey thing.)

This could be good fun
More than being swallowed by
A crazy rabbit


Edit: Title changed


This was the beginning of this thread - the "5-7-5 thing" refers to the number of syllables in each line.

How about giving it another try, kiddo - its fun once you get the hang of it and hey, none of us are what you'd call great poets!

Nice lesson teacher,
Does anybody live by the rule
Maybe, in the school.

Maybe in the school,
The fish all think they are safe
Till the shark pounces.

Faced with household chores
The memsahib claps her hands
And the servants come.

And the servants come
To do her slightest bidding
While Mem sips her tea.
