Anybody interested in writing collaborative haikus? One word per person & sentence, whoever comes first. Let me know.

    3 people would be enough to (flexibly) start. A haiku is basically a poem made by 5+7+5 sillabes, containing optionally a reference to Nature. Someone would start a jaiku with one word and others would follow. There would be still the Jaiku limit of 140 characters.

    For example:

    Winter

    Winter brings

    Winter brings fresh

    Winter brings fresh winds

    Winter brings fresh winds memories

    ...etc

    Put me in the list (=5 sillabes' "verse", btw)

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "& sentence" (in "One word per person & sentence"). I think your example should be reproduced like this:

    Winter brings fresh winds (5 sillabes)

    memories (3 first sillabes of a 7 sillabes' verse)

    Collaborative haikus are difficult because previous contributions to a verse may leave insufficient space for a closing fitting word.

    (accidentally I marked your comment as spam, sorry!)

    Good, then we only need a third contributor to start.

    Collaboration is always more effective when you think in the others i.e. the next guy writing a word after you. Some practice also helps.

    Your example of sentences/verses is much clearer. I failed starting a new line with 'memories'.

    In fact what the hell. Let's start the two of us. I will begin with the (haiku) flag and one word in a new jaiku.
