who haiku? haiku you!
Here is a little game that I thought we could all play! I'm sure I didn't invent it, but it occurred to me, and that's close enough!
Here's how it will work.
I will write the first 5-7-5 haiku, just like the tradition dating back to the 15th century, then, you write the next haiku. Here's what'll make it a game. Your haiku must begin with the word that mine ends with, and so on.
So, let's begin!
Oh gentle bloggers,
write with friendship as motive
feelings are fragile.
so the next haiku should begin with the word "fragile." now have fun!
(just for grins... lookie lookie at this post! hooray for this game catching on! and he even has friends talking about the game. i love blogging in a world where people get along and respect each other. welcome new friends!)
arrivederci, rebecca marie

42 flattering compliments:
hey, this is a fun game and a great idea! you are so original rebecca marie :)
please be friday now
i can't wait for the weekend
i want to sleep in
next haiku to begin with "in"!
in leiu of a rhyme
japanese poets did find
five seven five works fine
next word - fine
long have I sought peace
yet does unrest fill my soul
I want back TiVo
TiVo's accurate
at catching all you want seen
Friar, what you don't.
(great catch friar! thanks for visiting! you're welcome anytime.)
don't spoil our fun
"howdy" YOU claim,FRAUD say we
Unanimous BOO!
(but you have to say it like Spoy-il, not spoyl)
night time is over!
wake up dear friar, my guest
the boo was not yours.
(someone attacked me quite personally regarding a different version of this game... we are all a bit sensative about it. we are all very excited to have a new friend! heek haikuing!)
next first word - yours
"Yours" is a tough word
to begin a haiku with
I lack discipline.
Or, as the South Park boys' Karate instructor said, "disciprine".
discipline is what
everybody thinks they want
except for my kids
Next word: Kids
now - back to haikuing...
kids eat hay don't they?
not human kids of course, goats.
they make good cheese, too.
next first word, too.
Too, two, to, tutu
all sound very similar
homophones are fun.
next: fun
I was working on this, but oddWalk beat me to the punch:
Too much time spent on
two folk's misunderstanding.
To the game return.
Here's my official entry:
Fun with an old friend
Fun in the back of a car
Fun on a futon
Futon's were trendy
In the 80's they were tops!
But they're hard to build
Next: Build
build a blog with friends
an amazing trend you'll see
they rush to support
support the system
click on the donate button
you know you wanna.
(sorry, it's late and I'm getting stupid).
wanna bes on blogs
sometimes forget history
forgetting is sad
sad-ness overwhelms
the kid who thinks he's been bad
so Santa won't come
come visit Texas
we are freezing our butts off
why did we move here?
here, there, anywhere
home's not home without good friends
hooray for the 'net!
do i have to use internet as my first word or net?
well, i'll choose internet~
internet is the
only thing that gets me through
friday afternoon
Afternoon delight
I must remember, pull out
Or give a fake name.
name this cool object
seven letters, a black shell
and green fat inside.
Inside my nose is
A very big green booger
My finger is stuck
stuck i find myself
on sarah's haiku riddle
avacado! yesssss!
yessss to college bowls
but the duckies were screwed
B C S sucks hard
Ok Rebecca Marie
I need you to help me out on a WAKA event
so sorry I didn't ask your permission or anything!
anything but work
I'd clean the house, cook gourmet
to sleep in 'til noon
year's about to end
but happy christmas, firstly
firstly? GROSS! oh well.
Well, Oregon will lose
To the Oklahoma Team
Logo on your blog
blog is a strange word
found out it's short for weblog
huh. well. whoda thunk?
ha! you have to start a haiku with the word "thunk!"
thunk you could stump me?
no way jose, i mean, tabs.
what's spanish for tabs?
Tabs, Etiquetas
Spanish! You thought you stumped us
Care to try for French?
French Kiss the movie
Chocolate the book of love
Pride and Prejudice
*sorry, i'm just in that kind of mood...going to see Pride and Prejudice for the third time tomorrow! ((sigh))
Prejudice, it sucks
But it's something we all do.
Cultural bias.
Bias I can't use,
Haiku is not my forte,
I'll wait for the film.
*that's the first Haiku I've written since about fourth grade...how fun :-)*
Next first word is Film
film covers my eyes
why am i awake at six?
less write, more sleepy
sleepy is my life
three kids, one dog, one husband
no sleepy for me.
*yeah, my favorite word: ME!
me and my husband
strung lights on the christmas tree
he slept, i wrapped gifts
next word (if anyone is still playing): "gifts"
Gifts are great to give
The best gift of all is Christ
I invented gifts
The word is STILL gifts!
Gifts my husband hates
He says I buy too many
I say Ba Hum Bug
Humbug is one word
It means nonsense, or rubbish
Scrooged was a good flick
flick was a movie star
in "a bug's life" with heimlich
heimlich was my fave
"fave" is short for favourite. you can start your next haiku with either word you like . . .
