Haiku Adventure!
So, a bit like Haiku continued, except this is an adventure (or multiple if it ives that long)
Rules!
Each player may post 1 to 3 Haiku verses that must all follow the haiku rules:
(Stolen from Sathyr)

The Basics:

Haiku Continued
Really quite a simple game
Here is what you do:
Here is what you do
The last line from one haiku
Is first for the next
Is first for the next?
Yes, and one to three haiku
Per post you may make
Per post you may make
But there's four here already
Yes there are four now
Yes there are four now
I am just explaining things
You know, how it goes
You know how it goes
Five syllables, then seven
Then five once again
Then five once again
As we pick up for the next
And so, we begin!
Behavior:
► Show Spoiler
Wait for two others to post
Between your haiku
Or alternately
Wait for twenty-four hours
Of no one posting
Even then, patience
May be the prudent action
Haiku can take time
Adventure rules:
► Show Spoiler
So this time we start this as an adventure,
that is, the things in the Haiku must fit into a bigger "picture"
I'll start the game off with a "Setting"
Others add to the setting, when someone feels that is enough of setting they move on to the "main character" others add to that and then maybe some "Trigger/hook" and so on.
But the change must be announced at the end of a players turn!
Example
Player one: SETTING
long time ago in a far of realm
where magic was part of every day
Player two: SETTING
dragons roamed the sky
and unicorns ruled the meadows
Player Three: SETTING
here we find a small hut
in the middle of a forest
GO TO CHARACTER
Player four: CHARACTER
in the hut lived a girl named May
she was an adventures one
but never had she ventured outside the forest
player five: CHARACTER
this was where all she knew was,
where she ran barefoot and hunted rabbits
GO TO HOOK
player six: HOOK!
but one day on her hunt.....
and so on... BUT in haiku!
read all the above?
cool, I'll start off with two haiku verses:
SETTING!
Before cars and planes
In a land plagued by terrors
and night time monsters
And night time monsters?
yes those that go bump at night
and eats men at sight

and eats men on sight
they'll even eat puppies too.
So hungry they are
So hungry they are
they go out in all weather
no matter the cost
no matter the cost.
This night the weather is bad
it's golf ball sized hail
Anger is fleeting, Remorse eternal...

CHARACTER
"It's golf-ball sized hail!"
Complained Trevor the elf thief.
As he looked outside.
As he looked outside.
He saw all his careful plans.
Disappearing now.
Disappearing now
that he could no longer go
to his rendezvous.

To his rendezvous,
On the south east side forest
Where friends awaited.
Where friend awaited.
Ranger, warrior and bard.
All eager to start
All eager to start
Adventuring with Trevor
And his singing blade
Still CHARACTER

HOOK
And his singing blade
Which in fact is his dear wife
transformed by a witch!
Transformed by a witch
For nothing more than spilling
some soup on the crone.
Some soup on the crone
And now transformed forever
'Til they find a cure.

Til they find a cure
or his party kill the witch
The witch who did it
The witch who did it
moves from city to city
and from town to town
and from town to town
but she always wears green hats
that's her telltale sign
Anger is fleeting, Remorse eternal...

Trevor is quite determined
to begin the hunt.
To begin the hunt
he must leave this wretched place
but night will be soon.
But night will be soon.
so shall he brave the weather,
or the night creatures?

no there is no time to waste
he must take his haste
he must take his haste
before the blade turns ever cold
and she remains trapped
and she remains trapped
because the next full moon comes
with that leaves her soul

With that leaves her soul
an odd Idea in his mind
turns to the bar keep
Turns to the bar keep
an empty barrel I need
big enough for me
big enough for me
worn over head and body
armour for the hail
Anger is fleeting, Remorse eternal...

Armour for the hail
I suppose that could work out
Said the old bar keep
Said the old bar keep
I'll sell you one for five gold
It may smell a bit
It may smell a bit
"In that case make it three gold"
"Sold' it's in the back"
Anger is fleeting, Remorse eternal...

"sold ' it's in the back."
And so dressed in a barrel
Our would be hero.
Our would be hero
Heads out into the hail storm.
Moving quite slowly.
Moving quite slowly
And with his vision impaired
He didn't expect.
Anger is fleeting, Remorse eternal...
