For the Haiku Champion!

So to enter the drawing for this Platinum (or your choice of a Pot O' Coins if you prefer) challenge you must create a Haiku by the traditional Haiku standards below but with a twist. So please read to the end to learn what the "twist" is all about.

What is a haiku? The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.

HOWEVER............ for the TGA Haiku challenge your Haiku must incorporate at least one word FROM THE SECOND LINE of the Haiku that just preceded your submission.

So if the person before you submitted this Haiku:

bla bla bla di da

fee fi fo fum Im Dum Dum

bla bla bla di da

You must choose one of these words, "Fee Fi Fo Fum Im Dum Dum" and use it somewhere, anywhere in your traditional Haiku submission. Then the person submitting after you will have to use one word from the second line of your Haiku submission and so on and so on.

I'll go first to get this TGA Haiku party started. The next person after me will have to incorporate one word from my second line in their Haiku submission while still adhering to the Haiku rules of syllables.
