Three People Haiku

[kiz_paws]

Not another haiku thread you say? Oh well! Work with it! http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s122/kiz_paws/Smilies/smiliechachacha.gif

To play this game:

Person ONE creates a five syllable Line-1
Person TWO creates a seven syllable Line-2
Person THREE creates a five syllable Line-3

No one has to repeat a line from any other haiku, each one stands on its own.

So, guess I'll commence (since I thought it up, though B-Mental helped me with the name of the thread) :thumbs_up

On a wind swept shore

[B-Mental]

On a windswept shore
landless logs there did accrue

[kiz_paws]

ok, so now what? Do I just pick any old 5 line and put it in there, if so...

(cool thread Kiz :) )

[B-Mental]

uh oh, Kiz how we gonna fix this...maybe we can have a cave poetry jam to find out who wins



hmm, kiz logged fifth, should we try first line wins, and then you can post the next line?

[TheFifthElement]

Aah B, I think it's me messing things up (this happens in haiku all the time!). I think I've got it - I'll finish yours:

Dangerous concepts
Are societies worst fears
blindly locked away

[firefangled]

blindly locked away,
when the time for locks is gone,
what to do with sight

Okay...here's my five:

when I first saw you

[TheFifthElement]

when I first saw you
leaning against an oak tree

[kiz_paws]

When I first saw you
leaning against an oak tree
I saw tomorrow

I agree, btw, with B-Mental in that if two posters simultaneously make their contribution to the haiku -- then perhaps (to avoid hurt feelings, etc.), the first poster is the one that the next guy follows....

does that make sense? ;)

Thanks all, for jumping in! Next person gets to start a whole new haiku...
