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

Ones of me and you
There on the wall of pictures
Wishing you were here

Wishing you were here
Remembering when you laughed
And the times you cried

And the times you cried,
I cried too, wishing that our
tears tasted sweeter.

I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

Tears tasted sweeter
That day we finally won
Then all the others

then all the others,
laid their pasts aside and wept;
the sky is somber.

[soon, i will submit myself to the stars]

The sky is somber,
The ground shakes in frustration;
I simply exist.
