A Tonka game. . . .

Okay, I'm sure everyone has heard of a Haiku; but what about a Tonka? (Not the toy) Basically, it is "chain" haiku.
One person writes a haiku; then the next person adds the next two lines to it using Tonka syllable rules. That creates the 5 line stanza called a Tonka.
The next person writes the haiku; the next person adds the next two lines, creating another Tonka. And so on . . .
Haiku/Tonka typically has some type of reference to nature; but for this exercise in fun, let's not make that a rule. It's like Japanese poetry association. The lines can be on anything and do not have to rhyme; just make sense.

The first three lines are in the form of a haiku: 1st line: 5 syllables; 2nd line: 7 syllables; 3rd line: 5 syllables. The haiku becomes a tonka when the last two lines of 7 syllables each are added.

The next person can use word/subject association when the create the next haiku, or they can go on to another subject,

Here's an example that a friend and I wrote:

A man and his dog
Rests his eyes, scratches a tick -
Tock, the daylight fades.

The porch will moan under foot -
Steps of boot and paw.

So, am I a winner of the literary nerd club, or is anyone interested?

Summer through Autumn
Whirling leaves travel abroad -
Absentmindedly.
