So, if you don't know what a haiku chain is, basically it's a series of linked haiku. The last line of the first poem, becomes the first line of the next poem.

Example:

Poem 1:

My dog died one day,
Now my turtle is dying,
No more pets for me.

Poem 2:

No more pets for me,
I prefer my computer,
But pets are still cute.

~

Understand? It's simple 5-7-5 haiku chain! Ready? Go!

The first thread
The second thread
The third thread

We will start with the last post of the third thread:

Ruining my day
These damned examinations
Glad it's over now


(I have no idea if I did this right.)

(Coulda just chained off of their post, but it's whatever)
"Glad it's over now..."
"But a new thread now begins!"

***Reminder(I am not an admin, but a lover of literature):
A haiku has a 5-7-5 syllable structure. 1st line is 5 syllables, 2nd is 7 syllables, and 3rd is 5 syllables.

According to OP rules, the first line of your haiku must start with the last line of the previous haiku

That being said >>210 I have to edit your last line a bit.

>>263 Until you learn what a haiku is, please get away from this thread.
This is why twelve year olds shouldn't join the Dollars. At this point, I'm not even sure if you're a troll or just strange.

>>264 If you're not going to explain the format, then don't say anything to them. Telling them they're wrong and doing nothing to aid understanding gets no one anywhere.
>>263 Though haiku can take on many forms, we in this thread stick to the 5-7-5 format, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the last.
I'm gonna continue from >>262, partially due to the format error, but mostly because I always find chaining from 'me' to be awkward.

I can fall asleep
Satisfied with all I did

>>267 Getting closer! The haiku chain actually chains the last line from the previous post, not just the last word. Your structure is getting closer (6-6-5, just one syllable off in two lines). Keep at it!
I'll continue from yours, as the last line is five syllables.

Of which: to smile
Or to frown? Muscles twitching

>>270 I'm sure you're getting tired of hearing this by now, but the whole "Dollars have no rules" thing isn't real. This thread has rules. Most do. They're outlined in the first post of the thread.
I just wanted to help you abide, that's all. If following rules is too difficult or too unsavory for you, then perhaps this isn't the thread for you. And that's fine. There are plenty of threads out there, most having less rigid rule structures.

As a bonus, this haiku explains the rules to haikus.

Remarkable oaf.

ALERT do you own this haiku chain? no so please stop and go off of what iv'e said and also i have no time for an olden to do this, so please stop and just go on like so i'll do the same to you use your second line and go down, i'm sorry but i don't like people bossing me around, and that's what the dollars are all about and of this i don't know i just went off the example ok so why don't you leave it alone. and i'm sorry if this offended you in anyway but this is my opinion about this now please don't correct people it's getting to the point were i can take it, some people don't know this and won't know this or remember it, i'm not good with words or vocabulary and i do this just for fun so will you please not give me rules to go off of

>>283 Okay, I'll admit the way >>282 tried to explain the rules could've had a little more tact ('remarkable oaf?' C'mon, man, that's not nice).
However, the rules are quite simple. I know you believe the Dollars are this anarchic ideal where there are no rules or leaders, but the fact of the matter is that that simply is not true. As I explained in my previous post on this matter, most threads on this site, if not all, have rules. This one is more constrained than most, but that's just the nature of the game.
I really don't wanna you to give up on this. I wanna see you grow and get better. If following rules is too difficult or just unappealing to you, then I'm sorry, but this might not be the thread for you. If you really enjoy writing haiku, and contributing to this game, then please try to adhere to the rules.

Hoping for a future

Not mere tolerance

wowzaz your actually a very reasonable person. though i keep on doing so trying and trying in this but then people keep on saying im wrong right after another i don't even know how to fix it

>>283 Sorry 'bout that. The second haiku that I posted was from an animated series called ATLA. Here's the link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7-2_gUuWK4

I did not bother editing it, simply because I just didn't feel like doing that. Once again, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

Anyways, here's my response.

Not mere tolerance;
Society requires freedom,
An ode to Dollars.

Maybe there needs to be a Haiku practice thread or something to help people get better at doing them, just a thought.

good idea kaisuke! hmm hbu start the practice thread off?!

all my friends are dead
nah, I am going to their funerals instead

>>311 Not a haiku. That's waaaay off at 5-5-12 instead of 5-7-5. Just use a syllable counter next time or something.

I'll just stay home then

>>326 NOT A HAIKU. CHRIST ON A BIKE HOW MANY DOLLARS LACK SIMPLE READING COMPREHENSION?

All still die the same
For we are only bodies
Every day we rot

>>327 Hey, breathe. Just yelling at people will only make them ignore you. Also, no one learns that way.
>>326 what you have there is 5-7-9. The haiku format we are using in this thread is 5-7-5, so you could try rewording it so the syllables match. How about:
All still die the same
People with names and nonames
Remembered the same

See? I tried to keep the same message you had.

Every day, we rot
Sins peck away at our flesh
Watch the water swirl

Watch the water swirl
Turning with the tides of life
Washing you away

>>328 people get tired of mistakes anyone did over and over, just like how I yelled at spams on Main. I kinda knew how he felt, and then...

Washing you away

Our grandfather laughs loudly
What is wrong with him

What is wrong with him,
He screams and cries, filling the room,
With sorrow and gloom.

I opened my door
I looked to one side then back
Then I shut my door

Then I shut my door
I'm finished with the world
I get out my AK-47

I get out my AK-47
Then shoot the monsters in my head
I fall to the floor,cold and dead.

>>370 to >>371 I don't think you know how haikus work....
Continuing from >>369

Then I shut my door.
I'm finished with the world...A-
K-47

>>372 don't understand it pretty much but I tried to.

>>373 the haiku format in this thread is 5-7-5. As in syllables, not words. It's five syllables, followed by seven syllables, then ended with five syllables. Some words have more than one syllable, for example: pizza. Pi-zza is two syllables. AK-47 is 6 syllables. A-K-Four-ty-Sev-en. Thus why I had to end my haiku with -K-47. Because K-47 is only five syllables. The part in the middle is supposed to be seven syllables... I don't know if this is a good explanation. But basically you used more syllables than you were supposed to and went beyond the format making your poem not count as a haiku. I'm not trying to be mean, sorry if I came off mean. Anyways, if you were to use the right amount of syllables your haiku would've looked more like this:

-K-47,
Shoot the monsters in my head,
I fall, cold and dead.

>>374 Thank you so much, let me try once again..

" Dead in the graveyard,
Arose and kill the people,
And started chaos. "

>>375 You got it down, that's pretty good :3

And started chaos...
From bright light to grave darkness,
The leaves all now fall

Like a Jellyfish,
I go with the flow today,
Like all other days...

If only I saw

Grief does nothing but smother
the light of your soul.

The light of your soul,
It left a long time ago.
What little is left,
It is the pain and the suffering.

What little is left,
It is the pain and suffering,
It keeps me going

The essence of the insane,
Inanely I walk

Fragile as thin ice of spring.

And yet, darkness still looms here
A constant cycle

The end is the beginning
Its just spinned around

If you're wondering how you can correct them :

Its-just-spinned-a-round (5 syllable)
Hap-pi-ness-been-found-at-last (7 syllable)
Life-is-get-ting-fun (5 syllable)

So from then on,

Life is getting fun

No matter how thick the ice
Is better than a broken one

Remember folks, 5-7-5 haiku chain no more no less. The number refers to the amount of vocal rhyme in the sentence and starts from the last line of the latest haiku. So continuing from >>442 it should look like

My heart is frozen
My-heart-is-fro-zen(5)

But I will be fine that way
But-I-will-be-fine-that-way(7)

So close it all down
So-close-it-all-down(5)
