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

what dogs imagine
fields of steak filled ecstasy
will never happen

Will never happened
upon a lesser carnage
birds eat cats eat men

birds eat cats eat men
the carnage is cyclical
hunger never ends

Lol, they're all about eating so far, mostly. Nom nom.

hunger never ends
in the cold breath of mornings
uncounted, loveless.

Helpful McHelpfulpants, I love your name!

uncounted, loveless
"Son cosas de la vida,"
buck up, yellow-gut

"Buck up, Yellow-Gut!"
cried the hawk to the gold-finch
"Birds have to eat worms."

Early birds eat worms,
therefore, Lazy Worm argues --
early worms get ate.

early worms risen
out of dirt and side-walk cracks
stretch to find the sun

Stretch to find the sun -
It's okay if you get burned,
Just don't hurt your eyes.

Do not hurt your eyes,
Citrus will be your demise,
Ridiculous pain.

Ridiculous pain,
Why does it make me so vain?
Bring me water, please!

plead for water now,
from a fresh, far-away spring,
or the kitchen sink.

Or the kitchen sink,
desert dry until you leave,
then it floods your world.

then it floods your world,
leaving clean and dry eyes
for the next venture.
