didn't see an old thread but let me know if we need to link back :)

this is a simple but fun one from other writing boards:

post a haiku based on the one above you! try to use the last line of the post above as your first - or something thematically close if you can't.

*Rules updated to preserve the "train" part of this game as much as possible :)

*Haiku is written in 3 lines, each line containing a fixed number of syllables. for the purpose of this game, please stick to 5-7-5 or 5-3-5


******

silent, not soundless
between beats. a patient gait
to infinity

Words hang in the air
Cutting down to jagged bone
The soft flesh revealed
 
our heads are cloudy,
defenses are razor thin
no wonder God wins.

btw everyone, I actually forgot that "American" haiku exists in a slightly different form lol. I'll update the topic for clarity.
both 5-7-5 and 5-3-5 syllable schemes are welcome.

Slides like grainy sand
Are quite rough for the rear end
Who invented them?

Tone change for reasons
As yet unknown, uncertain
What is a constant?
 
This reference rules
By small handfuls and amounts
Scooped out like like melon
 
Shitting logs and all
Log Lady doesn't approve this
Have some blueberries
