For this chain game we'll use the North American haiku standard of three lines consisting of: Line one: five syllables Line two: seven syllables Line three: five syllables. The next poster uses one of lines of the previous haiku in theirs. The hiraj, (cutting word often marked by a comma) can appear anywhere in the ku but does not have appear in the same place for the following ku . It can even appear at the end of the third line or for the purposes of this game, doesn't have to appear at all  I'll start us off with, first storm of summer raises steam, cooling the ground temporarily |

Thunderclaps herald raindrops;
First storm of Summer.

when nature calls, willing wings
follow guiding winds

Is always the one I choose;
My footprints are fresh.

after creating my own destiny
I know what karma is

in my heart, the mind sometimes
forgets what heart knows

Coloured leaves float down
Forming a soft tapestry;
Birds sing approval.

Birds sing approval
melodically, crow's
harsh cawing is shunned

Harsh cawing is shunned
Crows continue anyway;
Brash birds to the end.

brash birds to the end
are they, until birds of prey
scare them to silence

Scare them to silence
Eagles and hawks rule these skies;
I love their presence.

Dance around my entranced soul;
