ku-me
A Haiku Chaining Game.
-
Everyone is welcome to play – you do not have to be signed into WP or be a member to play.
-
In a comment write a ku of your own that uses the word left beneath the previous ku - that’s the chain.
-
Leave a new word beneath your ku for the next person to use in their own ku – that’s the chain too.
-
Play as often as you would like to play.
A sample would be like this:
The word or previous word: branch
water branches
the kitchen window
in this storm
mustard
butterfly wings
dipped in mustard
this summer day
shine
The next person would then use the word shine in their haiku. So go ahead and play.
for all haiku/writings in this game, the writer of each haiku is considered to be the Copyright Owner for their own haiku and writing. it’s just the way of our time. please addressed use permission requests to the individual writer of each haiku.
