haiku is a poem form with a syllable count 5-7-5.
Traditional haiku is pretty formal, modern western haiku that I do is not.But we try to tie the lines together.

Am looking to start my own Haiku thread where the last line of the poem already writ, (5 syllables) is the first line of the next (also 5 syllables), making a chain of poetry in haiku form.

I'm new here so thought I'd start with established poets here and use some of their lines. Thanks for your support!

Harpy yes she was
Played me like a fiddle, lord
Sharp then flat then both

Beautiful I was
And you oh so handsome dear
Tulips failed to bloom

(using a line of yours to write a haiku. Ok with you?)

I won't slip today
Given sufficient traction
Sparrows spill birdseed

I saw in your eyes
What your mouth refused to say
Would you like some tea?
