haiku game

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

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

Pond skater glides free
Tadpoles score - a perfect 10
Lunch for mummy frog!

Toast

Look, stunt pineapple
Artfully centred beauty
Influencers love!

Handbag

Oops should read to the end of the thread

Mumsnet fantasy
Clothes so beautiful perhaps
Credit card is toast

Handbag

A handbag so dear
Always kept to my near side
Full of loose money!

Blankets

@TracyBeakerSoYeah

Look, stunt pineapple Artfully centred beauty Influencers love!

Handbag

Love this!

Blankets cast aside on hot nights
Fresh air and bare skin join in delight
The first picture of summer

(With thanks to the Lotus Eaters)

Incense

In my teenage room
Incense wafting through the air
Thought I was so cool

Sandals

My ugly sandals
Gone the heels and bejewelled straps
Now comfort is king

Bee 🐝

Not so many now
No sting is as real compared
To their not bee-ing

Bugger, forgot again.

Silence

At last baby sleeps
I am restored by stillness
Soothed by the silence

Giraffe

humming to my self
partner fidgets and cries out
giraffe to do that?

cheat

I cheat at all games
Winning is all that matters
Is that a bad thing?

Penguin

Penguins love the cold
I myself do not that much
I would rather roast

Pool

Ugh realised I wrote penguins not penguin. Will try again!

The penguin loves ice,
As cold as my frozen heart,
Winter is its home.

Pool

Let's pool our resources
Fresh cards up our sleeve
I choose baccarat for a breeze

Dice

Fluffy, fluffy dice
Hanging from rearview mirror
Swinging back and forth

Cactus

A cactus in Death Valley
Leaves a shadow like a spiky ghost
Reaching out in so many directions.

Trinket

Wee trinket shining
Little present left by elves
Dangling from my wrist

Zebra

@LagganBubble

Wee trinket shining Little present left by elves Dangling from my wrist

Zebra

I love that!

In the night you see
A horse, but then when day dawns
You see my dark stripes.

Sorry, meant to add: Fox

Fox trotting through urban streets
By night, waiting for chicken to eat
As people discard bones, post drinking.

Whisky

Whisky

Amber liquid gold
Shimmering in the short glass
Belly all on fire

Cutlery!

Tea spoons where are you?
Knives, forks, other cutlery
Are spoons on holiday?

Fingers
