A variation on the Haiku Madness game. The first and the third lines of five syllables must rhyme. The next poster turns the middle seven syllable line into a five syllable line, makes up a new seven syllable middle line, and makes up a third five syllable line that rhymes with the first line. The next poster works off the seven syllable line, yada, yada, yada.
I’ve started this game.
I hope it goes well and you
Do not find it lame.

It hope it goes well,
But for a thread of this sort?
Too early to tell.

Darn hard for my little brain.
Done. Feels like a kiss.

Will this thread succeed or crash
Like a railroad train?

Succeed or crash,
There seem to be no middle ground:
Benison or bash.

To be how politics is
Now from what I see.

4 billion, or so,
Said Carl Sagan on Cosmos.
He looked like Frodo.

Six, like five, got sick.

A mess when he sneezed.

Make it through the day without
Taking food anew.

Shake it and bake it.
