Here is how this works.

We start with a haiku, like so:

To write a haiku
All you need to know is this:
Five, seven, and five.

Then, in the comments, you write a new haiku using the last line of this haiku as your first line. Like so:

Five, seven, and five:
Perhaps the measurements of
A pregnant fairy.

You may change punctuation and capitalization, but the words must stay the same. After a week or so, a favorite haiku will be chosen, and the last line of that haiku will become the first line of the next haiku. And so on. Let’s see how long we can keep this up…

So, your first line is:

A pregnant fairy

Addendum: You guys are all fabulously creative, but I should probably clarify the rules a bit. This time, everyone uses the first line “A pregnant fairy”; next week, one of those haiku (haikus?) will be chosen and then we will have a new first line to work with.

Yours, Joanna
