For those of you who don't remember what a haiku is, it is a very short poem, of 5 syllables, followed by 7 syllables, followed again by 5 syllables.

Make your haiku from the last word of the last haiku posted. So to start, I'll write two as an example:

I woke up today | and reached for an ice cold beer | but there was none left

...

left alone and tired | I waited at the bus stop | for what seemed a year

I used to write haikus way back...

left on the doorway / knocked my head on the door bell / No one seems to care

Aadriyah, you started with the word 'left', the first word of mine, when you should have started with the word 'year', which was the last word in mine. I'll play off of yours anyway:

care not for spammers | who waste our time and bore us | with useless email

Hey, pull my finger!
Now run, run, run for your life!
Chemical warfare!

Just a try.. And tell me if its right?

Warfare must be done | in according to the rules | to defense yourself

**wayfarer07** · 12-14-2009, 03:42 PM

No one's got it right yet. Your poem's first word has to be the last word of the previous Haiku.

warfare is the last word of serandfae..

Super confused

Bad ideas start | as good ones, or at least | with good intentions

Intentions are the | best made plans, for someone who | succeeds in their life.
