Extend the haiku chain....

[Smee]

Heres my haiku chain:
I start it with my haiku.
Now you continue....

Now you continue
By taking my final line
As a starting point.

As a starting point,
This is so uninspiring!
Let's brighten things up

Let's brighten things up
......etc

Anyone care to continue the haiku chain, with one haiku stanza at a time

[Smee]

Oops, I pressed post by accident before I had finished explaining! In short, if you fancy extending the haiku chain just continue with the next stanza, taking the last line of the one before. The challenge is to add some interest and humour but still provide a last line that will work as a first line for the next verse. Anybody fancy extending the chain now that I've finished explaining?!

What's the haiku syllable count....I'm ready

[Smee]

5,7,5
Your first line of 5 is therefore...

Let's brighten things up

[Sumyanna]

Let's brighten things up
before our time is over
our memories etched...

[Smee]

Our memories etched
On a hundred year oak tree
Forever remain

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Forever remain
Listening to heart's desires
Acting without care

[Smee]

Acting without care
We should swing into action,
As if like lightning.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

As if like lightening
Flashing clashing zig zag beam
Path illuminate

[Smee]

Hi RhymeLovingWriter,
Thamks for joining in. I know that haikus traditionally shouldnt rhyme, but hey, we're making our own rules up here anyway so ,just for you, I've made my next response rhyme! (Truthfully, I am going cold turkey from rhyming so you have given me the perfect excuse to break from my self discipline. Thanks )

[Smee]

Path illuminate
Guide me to my beloved
Fling open the gate

[Mariont3155]

Fling open the gate
Take one step, then another
Just follow your heart

[Smee]

Just follow your heart
For there, dreams are created,
Nurtured and treasured.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Nurtured and treasured
Child within his mother's womb
Present by His grace.

[imrogue]

Present by His grace
All these creatures, big and small
Thankful for His Love

[rhymarhyma]

Thankful for His love
I begin to breathe again
The water calls me
