What's really funny

Is that most of what we write

Here is not haiku.


It's a cynical,

Humorous poem about

Life called senryū.

A bouquet of raw

Sewage; nostrils filling with

Pestilent ordure.


Rotting and fetid,

It seeps into the landscape,

Clogging earth and sea.


The sky seems fine, but

Pollutants reign supreme; the

Acid rain, falling...


"It's just fine," we say.

"Everything is fine," we say.

Until it isn't.

Okay, I thought maybe we can try some renga here. My 2 lines will be


And the cold wind brings nothing

But the snowflakes in my face.


Renga is made by multiple people. First one makes 3 lines, next one - 2 lines, then next one 3 lines again. Each 5 lines are supposed to complete themselves into one poem (tanka). This way renga is a chain of tanka where each part has a standalone, complete ideas and also forms a bridge to the part before it and the one after it. I wonder if anyone is interested in this kind of game. So, if you feel like into it, you are supposed to make next 3 lines that resonates with my 2. I will wright everything from the beginning to make it easier
