This isn’t an original idea - it’s blatantly stolen in fact.

Like the infinite Haiku but based on the Tanka form 5-7-5 7-7.

The game is simple -

The last line of the previous post should be repeated in the first 4 lines of the next one. (you don’t have to repeat the line word for word – play with it if you like)

I think Humor and Wit would be a good theme or strange, odd and silly.

Guidelines for tanka
lines should be 5-7-5
then 7-7
witty, clever or silly
you should end up with 5 lines


(you should end up with 5 lines should be in the first 4 lines of the next one )

Okay, sounds like fun. Why don't you start it?

Poets lines, fine lines
smile lines around your eyes
Pick up lines - in line
you should end with 5 lines but
be careful how much you blow

this sounds compli cate
probably spelt feckin wrong
but who realy cares
be careful how much you blow
it could come back in yur face

I think you spelled fecken right

When blowing bubbles
don't face the wind, or they'll
come back in your face

with a kite, run through the wind
when sailing, go with the wind
