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

@ehBeth,
Whisper then depart
For sweeting is part sorrow
Then love springs anew.

@ekename,
Then love springs anew
what light through yonder window
shines sweeting sorrow

@oristarA,
prosperity will abound
and love takes wing
to the shining cloud

@oristarA,
to the shining cloud
with great joy
life's meaning is thus fulfilled

To the shining cloud
came a darkening cold shroud
and the rain fell down

@edgarblythe,
and the rain fell down
on Californian lawns
ending drought this year.

@tsarstepan,
ending drought this year
her music gave our hearts new
reasons to listen

@ehBeth,
^^^

Seeing Monger's post reminds me that I still miss him, lo these many years.


Reasons to listen
are both many and few; it
depends on who talks.

@ossobuco,
Depends on who talks,
the other will be focused
on her shiny phone.

@tsarstepan,
On her shiny phone
she put lipstick kisses since
she loves it so much.

@ossobuco,
she loves it so much
and nudges ossobuco:
"Honey, will I be your sweetie?"

@oristarA,
"Honey, will I be"
sweet nothings in her ear, a
question she awaits?

@vonny,
Question she awaits,
A proposal of marriage,
Is never offered

@firefly,
Is never offered
not once, not ever, but then
sadly, she sighs - men!

@vonny,
The petter patter of rain
on our roof with solar panels
isn't so loud in our home

@cicerone imposter,
CI, in this thread the first line of the haiku is the last line of the person posting before you.
We also count syllables - the first line gets 5, the second line gets 7, and the last line gets 5.

@ossobuco,
It's ok, many people have missed "the rules". Once you get used to the mode it can be quite fun to play with.
