Hello There Boys & Girls! ^__^
Fancy yourself clever with words and up for a bit of fun?
Why not join in on a game that'll require wits, creativity and a sense of humour! :D :D :D
Here's How To Play Haiku You!:
A Haiku is a classic Japanese metric structured short poem.
1) To write a Haiku all you need to do is write three sentences in the following
format:
Sentence 1 = Must have 5 syllables
Sentence 2 = Must have 7 syllables
Sentence 3 = Must have 5 syllables
2) Your Haiku must contain a 'Kijo' or Season Word indicating which season it was
written in.
Example: Cherry Blossoms indicate Spring, Snow indicates Winter, and Mosquitoes indicate Summer. This is traditional for
all Japanese Haiku poems.

Right! Now that you know the rules, be as creative and as outrageous as you like!
Game Structure:
* 10 Haikus, 1 per Player/Member = 1 Round.
* 3 Rounds per Game.
* Each Haiku must have a Kijo! (You can highlight these in italic font!)
* No Kijo = Player/Member is Disqualified from the next round! (That makes it tricky! ^__^)
* Each game will get more and more complex depending on how many players are willing to join in!
* Each Round a theme is set.
* The next player to set the theme is the last (10th) player to submit a Haiku for that round!
Final Rule: Please write all conversation unrelated to the game in Square Brackets: [ ] <-- These Things! ^___^
