Here’s how it goes. . .the first line of the next person’s haiku must be the same as the last line of the previous person’s haiku.
The nature of haiku being just the 5-7-5 thing (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables), not the complicated Japanese nature thing.
Here goes:
This could be good fun
More than being swallowed by
A crazy rabbit
Hence, the next Haiku should start with " A crazy rabbit"

A crazy rabbit
ate the garden furniture
and was really sick
?? That right? No it’s not, coz the next one would have to start “and was really sick” which is impossible…so
A crazy rabbit (5 syllables)
Ate the garden furniture (7)
He was really sick (5)
??? does that work???
if it does work then the next person has to start with “He was really sick”?? Am I complicating this too much?
Westie:
That’s great! The next person can think up a haiku that goes with either line
they are 5-7-5 so it fits just fine!!
Thanks for carrying this on…it takes a bit more concentration, but hey what else are we doing these days!!
I’ll try next.

He was really sick
and yet he knew always she
would love him dearly
would love him dearly
he was the love of her life
Her one true soulmate
Her one true soulmate
She had hoped that he would be

fresh with sparkling bright eyes
and a deep low purr
And a deep low purr
sent loves chills down his spine
he wanted her now

he wanted her now
he had to do what rabbits do
and two became one
and two became one
as they loved each other so
it was hard to say
it was hard to say
what would happen in that day
but they were in love
But they were in love
Or so it seemed to the world:
Disaster was near
Disaster was near
When the plane started to fall
What should she do now?
what should she do now
one parachute
and two of them
and the two of them
wrapped themselves paw around paw
little bright eyes closed tight
little bright eyes closed tight
as they both jumped
while sharing the one parachute
REMEMBER 5-7-5
The one parachute
Sadly failed to respond to
The soldier’s demand
The soldier’s demand
Was a feather- light landing
On a soft white cloud
on a soft white cloud
gently she hunted him
through all the night
Through all the night
the noisy gerbils would fight
to the end, the death
