Haiku Train

BarrettBenedict · 2009-04-26T07:14:14Z

This is pretty simple and can be lots of fun. The premise is you take the last line of the haiku before yours and make it the first as yours. It doesn't necessarily have to be the exact line either. If you can cleverly change it in subtle ways so that it rhymes or sounds the same that is also cool. Example: This is a haiku five, seven, five syllables would be the format ... could be a doormat were it not for the large head must be tiger's skin etc. So here's a starter haiku: old film reels rotate monochrome images of what dogs imagine

my shivering trees
covered by blankets of sun
the wind can't chill them

water from the storm
will flood the rice and corn fields
but can't flood our hearts

they told me to never give up on my dreams.

so i took another nap

washing over time

buried memories
fragments of history stuck
hidden by the sand

i can't beleive it's not gender!

hidden by the sand
tiny crabs are camouflaged
living their short lives
