write a haiku with the word given by previous poster.
then add a single word to your post for next player. I'll start:

Lovely sun at last
I'll need sunglasses to drive
Oh no! Where are they?

Chickens home to roost,
How do you like them apples
Mr Johnson (twat)?

I was not surprised
when a dragon made our lunch:
perfect crispy duck!

Half term tomorrow
Time for teachers to party
Bring on the cocktails

Pasta

Will0wtree · 27/05/2021 20:01

Draining the pasta.
Sly spaghetti spots its chance,
glides down the plug hole.

Will0wtree · 27/05/2021 20:13

Oh, and
seagull

GreenTeaPingPong · 27/05/2021 20:23

Do seagulls dream of
That moment when they steal the
Chips out of your hand?

GreenTeaPingPong · 27/05/2021 20:23

Glass

LateMumma · 27/05/2021 20:41

Will I be able
to see the point when my glass
becomes half empty?

Tomorrow

CaptainCallisto · 27/05/2021 20:46

Tomorrow will be
Tough without a good night's rest.
Sleep through sons of mine!

Maple

Clawdy · 27/05/2021 20:54

Maple tall and strong
Growing here in my garden
So beautiful now.

Sausages

WutheringShites86 · 27/05/2021 22:33

Sausages in t'pan
Sizzling and spitting hot fat
Diet restarts tomorrow

Regret

WutheringShites86 · 27/05/2021 22:36

D'oh I miscounted syllables Angry

Regret is so strong
My sausage haiku too long
Alas it is done

Month

CaptainCallisto · 27/05/2021 22:41

Month after long month
We wait for speech and language
When will he be seen?

CaptainCallisto · 27/05/2021 22:41

Whoops - marbles

Biscoffin · 27/05/2021 22:45

He lost his marbles
We do not know where they are
How can he find them?

Cheese

WutheringShites86 · 27/05/2021 22:46

Round, smooth spheres of glass
Marbles roll across the floor
Like crashing planets

Meow

WutheringShites86 · 27/05/2021 22:47

Cross Post, but meow and cheese could work together!

CaptainCallisto · 27/05/2021 23:06

Meow said the kitten
Hoping for a slice of cheese
Cute little fluff ball

CaptainCallisto · 27/05/2021 23:06

I did it again! Biscuits

guffaux · 27/05/2021 23:58

ah, biscuits to eat
said little hamster of mine
love is biscuits, no ?

quail

Scarby9 · 28/05/2021 00:02

Before your beauty
My poor heart quails and falters
Your smile rescues me

Balloon

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/05/2021 00:15

"Blow me, fill me with
your hot air" balloon begs. I
Oblige. Alas... Pop

Friday

INneedOFaSTIFF1 · 28/05/2021 00:16

Balloon flying high
Birds flying swiftly by
In the clear blue sky

Silk

INneedOFaSTIFF1 · 28/05/2021 00:17

Ignore me cross post 😬

Friday is the day
Where the sun comes out to play
And the boys run away

Sugar

HunkyPunk · 28/05/2021 00:27

Sweet, deadly sugar
You've got us all addicted
Poison on our tongues

Rain
