The rules are simple. Post a haiku using the traditional 5-7-5 syllabic layout. The last line of your haiku shall be the first line for the next poster's.
I'll go first, Biological Their processes continue If only to die |

He lost his chance to be big Why must he die now? |

beyond the world's grasp
lie many things-the dreams of poor fools and great kings. |

Answer with a roar
Then a silence will descend Whisper sweet nothings. |
