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!
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.

People
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! ^___^

Fly buzzes loudly
Swatting fly does not hush him
Fly: One, Me: Zero
[Take it away Players! ^___^]
[Annoying insects isn't really an easy topic ya know
also I
never knew about the kijo, thanks for the new knowledge]
What bug annoys most?
Humming in the heat of night
The mozzi doth come
[Even after re-reading that I'm now really paranoid I've lost the ability to count syllables O.o]
A cockroach skittles
under the cherry blossoms
...so very kawaii
Crazy bumble bee.
Flying around the tree "leaves".
Get honey I will!
[Excellent work everyone! These Haikus are a laugh! I love them! ^__^ Keep it up! I hope we get more players! ^___^
]
Thats it.. this really sucks.
I want mah friggin snow flake!
Take this mad snow man!
*Takes out flamethrower and kills snow man*
[hmm...so we just write a haiku relating to the topic? i get it...i think...what happens at the end of each game?]
I hear a small buzz.
I look around but it's gone.
All that's left is bites.
