    I'm using the American definition of "haiku" here - a three-line poem with 5-7-5 syllables.

    Where the game part comes in: The first line of your haiku MUST be the last line of the previous haiku.


    And now the haiku
    They are really fun to write
    Let the games begin!

    A haiku is supposed to be a poem. The idea that anything with 5-7-5 syllables is a poem seems to have become popular. It is not an idea I share. Have fun with your game. It is harmless. But you are not writing haiku. Just little, three-line statements in 5-7-5. And making fun of a literary tradition.

    Fine, is this more poetic for you?

    Let the games begin!
    Competition is lacking
    As this is for fun.

    Does it have to be funny?
    Humor's a bonus.

    But again my paycheck is
    saddened by the joke.

    Saddened by the joke,
    I begin to cry aloud.
    Others know my pain.

    That's why I said the American definition, which has as much to do with real haiku as what Americans call French Toast has to do with France


    Others know my pain
    Because of all my music

    See the Dancing Bear Pose. Then
    The yogi just sits.

    The yogi just sits
    In the forest all alone.
    The lonely bear cries.
