It must follow the pattern ~



one chain in everyone's entry containing FIVE haikus



Example:


Silenced dawn births,
as setting stars kindled flame,
blooming as lusty waves.






Sorry, I am too tired and my mind is not working to make another one. As you can see, here I have made a chain of different Haikus ... you can make them related and or not related. It's on you.




REMEMBER:


5-7-5 pattern.

5 Haikus in one chain.

No death.
No gore, violence.
No graphic abuse, adult, erotica (still fourteen, thank, you)
