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

Oops! *Choose your burgers

Gaze

FelicityBeedle · 29/05/2021 18:17

Her gaze is so strong
But what she sees so clearly
She can’t understand

(Is clearly two syllables? It is in my accent)

Paws

HunkyPunk · 29/05/2021 20:20

Furry ginger paws,
Your secret weapon unleashed.
Corpse on the carpet.

Friend

CaptainCallisto · 29/05/2021 20:30

Support each other
Through triumph or through hardship
A friend is a gift

Butter

Scarby9 · 29/05/2021 21:25

I miss you daily
I could tell you anything
Best friend who drifted

Bath

Clawdy · 29/05/2021 22:39

Silky soft water
Bubbles frothing sweet and hot
I slip slowly down.

Elephants

FelicityBeedle · 29/05/2021 23:20

You never forget
But through acts of a vile few
We will forget you

Change

HunkyPunk · 30/05/2021 08:14

Constant in my life
Dependable and solid
Please don't ever change.

Wary

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 30/05/2021 10:38

Which clothes-y shall I
Wear-y? I am wary they
Might not suit me. Gah!

Blossom

echt · 31/05/2021 09:22

A dog I see when
out walking mine. Shoe polish.
Never the flowers.

Scarby9 · 31/05/2021 11:52

Do you have a word for us, @echt ?

echt · 31/05/2021 14:38

Whoops!!!! Blush

Walking

toffeebutterpopcorn · 31/05/2021 14:41

Step by slow, slow step
I move silently and yet
Reach my goal in time

I love a haiku. I sometime send emails at work in this form.

Aliens...

Clawdy · 31/05/2021 16:03

Come down from the stars
Let me see your strange sweet face
You will be my friend.

Diamonds

HunkyPunk · 31/05/2021 18:29

I love a haiku. I sometime send emails at work in this form.

Grin you mean e.g.

Many thanks for that
Will action ASAP
See you soon on Zoom.

Lost mine washing up.
Diamonds are not forever
When they're down the sink.

Fruit

CaptainCallisto · 31/05/2021 21:42

Piled in a basket
Sweet, juicy, fruit from the tree
Time to make cider!

Pigs

Groovester · 31/05/2021 21:46

This little piggy
Rolled and wallowed in the mud
Squelching gleefully

Socks

CaptainCallisto · 31/05/2021 21:48

Never find a pair
Where do all the odd ones go?
Stupid bloody socks...

Trousers

spaceghetto · 31/05/2021 21:52

I had a pair once,
I squatted down and ripped them,
Oh, goodbye trousers!

Holiday

Sorrycantreadtest · 31/05/2021 21:56

Rather stay at home
Than try to organise one
Can't stand holidays

Bananas

Snowplop · 31/05/2021 22:00

Brown tinged bananas
Get left for the others
I like mine green

Tent

Snowplop · 31/05/2021 22:02

Oops missed a syllable - green-ish

Groovester · 31/05/2021 22:14

Triangular home
Protect me from rain and wind
I’m safe and cosy

Giraffes

RhubarbCustardy · 31/05/2021 22:28

Oh giraffe!
Your lovely eyelashes
No mascara for you

Pineapple

HunkyPunk · 31/05/2021 22:44

Pineapple Poll is
A much less well known ballet
Than many others.

Skate
