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?

Apples

Scales of sparkling gold
Silky fins a-trailing
Schools of graceful fish

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/05/2021 18:48

Friday night so it's
Pizza and telly and booze
Saturday blown out

Clock

AliasGrape · 28/05/2021 20:56

Just five more minutes
Too many snoozes, now late
Will I never learn?

Mirror

WutheringShites86 · 28/05/2021 21:16

Compelled to look yet
Rarely happy to see what
The mirror shows me

Dusk

Ostara212 · 28/05/2021 21:20

Dusk falling softly
Like a cashmere blanket
The darkness of night tiptoes behind

Lavender

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/05/2021 21:32

Dilly dilly.
How i fucking loath bloody
Marillion. Puke.

Rainbow shining bright
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Sunshine or the rain?

What a good slogan
"take a break, take a Kitkat"
don't mind if I do!

But for calcium
I would jelly to nothing
Always drink your milk!

Bingo

CaptainCallisto · 28/05/2021 22:04

Bingo was his name
That song is so annoying!
B-I-N-G-O

Muppets

Ostara212 · 28/05/2021 23:11

I am surrounded by muppets
And not the good kind
The chef or Miss Piggy, I wouldn't mind

Sapphire

OneSecond · 29/05/2021 01:05

Sapphire skies aglow
With yellow starbursts. Van Gogh
Above the tree line.

I love this!
Ostara212 · 29/05/2021 01:24

Hope in the song of a bird
The smell of summer soon approaching
An hour that slips away unnoticed

Castle

ViciousJackdaw · 29/05/2021 02:09

Castle on the Tees
A testing journey ahead
We did not believe

Internet

Gremlinsateit · 29/05/2021 02:42

My Internet’s down
My garden is enticing
I’ll enjoy the sun.

Freedom

CaptainCallisto · 29/05/2021 08:12

What freedom there is
In a library of books
There I can escape

Towel

HunkyPunk · 29/05/2021 10:51

Soft or absorbent?
It seems I can't mix the two
To get my dream towel.

Photograph
(sorry, that's 3 of the syllables already Grin)

WitchSharkadder · 29/05/2021 10:53

Take a photograph
Capture a moment in time
Look back, remember.

Wellys

CaptainCallisto · 29/05/2021 11:10

Wellies on. Splash! Splash!
Puddles, puddles everywhere
Splishy, sploshy fun

Bubbles

WitchSharkadder · 29/05/2021 11:33

Let's blow some bubbles
Watch them float away up high
Or go pop pop pop.

CaptainCallisto · 29/05/2021 12:08

Pop goes the weasel!
A song about market hats
Going up and down

Burgers

HunkyPunk · 29/05/2021 18:04

Too tired to cook food?
Choose a burger, veg or meat.
McD's will supply.
