Anyone here ever play the 'Haiku Game'? You write a haiku using a word the previous poster has left for you...
Rules:
1. Must follow the classic haiku 'recipe' of 5 syllables for first line, 7 syllables for second line, 5 syllables for third line.
2. You MUST use the word the previous poster has left for you in your haiku. The word you leave for the next poster cannot be more than 5 syllables.
3. Your haiku does not need to be serious at all! Have fun!

hey!
why did you delete your haiku, blunthead?!
I liked it.
Thanx, I appreciate that. I deleted it because I broke the rules (ignorantly; I sometimes have the bad habit of not reading the rules of a game before diving in) and couldn't think of another haiku.
blunthead

The roses are dead,
Or...wait, they're only sleeping,
Aha! There's a bloom!
