If we actually knew the extent to the darkness of what each of us have experienced, we would all treat eachother with complete honour and respect, out of our utter surprise, compassion and pride.

So, I had an idea that we could all do, as all you lovely people are very poetical and it would be cool for us each to make a poem and then combine them all as one. It could be some sort of poetic collective, even more so, anyway... The idea is this: write a haiku... based on the previous haiku... the haiku lines MUST be: 4 syllables then 3 syllables then 2 syllables then 1 syllable. To put it more clearly: 4 3 2 1 Rules * positive haikus preferable * Each Word Capitalized, Please * grammar is 0p, ti0næl!? * Enjoy writing it. *exceptional exceptions will be accepted *For the sake of a 'well tracked' train of poems just heart the poem once you're done... (btw Thanks Terry, good work, I like the repetition idea) P.s. dunno if this style is classed as a haiku but anyway let me know if you do. As I said it would be good to have a more positive slant on your haiku but do whatever feels right. Enjoy nonetheless. Anyway, I'll start Was It Easy, Your Life Lived; Knowing Love? So, yeah, the next person can elaborate from this "haiku" and then the next person can elaborate from that one... who knows we could get a 100 people poem train going lel it's your choice if you want to join, you choo-choose. Be bored or get aboard! Peace. Loving the poem comments so far, you all are great!
