Got this idea from another forum... confused

In case you don't know what a haiku is, it's a 3 line poem, and the only rules is that the first line is 5 syllables, the second line is 7 syllables, and the third line is 5 syllables.

Example:

water

Water flowing on
Down the crystal-like river
But it is wet too.

So what happens is one says a word, and the next person writes a Haiku inspired by that word.

Example:

"Water

Water flowing on
Down the crystal-like river
But it is wet too.

darkness comes slowly,
dipping above the skyline.
eyes, limbs, heart heavy.

and btw, here in England (where English was invented) we say "evry"... two syllables... just as "cholmondoley" has only two syllables... its the pronunciation that counts in haiku, not the spelling...
