Greg won the Guess Who and gave me a choice of two posts to reblog here. I liked this chain Haiku he did about he and his pipe. It all worked well together.
A few days ago Carpe Diem Haiku Kai did an exercise on, what else, haiku: specifically form. The challenge was to stretch ourselves by doing three haiku in slightly different ways: one 3-5-3 stanza, one traditional 5-7-5, and a free form stanza. It took me a little longer than usual to get this done; I had an idea but it took several tries to get something I was pleased with. Consequently I missed the deadline but have a chained haiku that I really like.

Smoke wafts from
A burning ember
In my pipeAn animated
Enchanting dance of smoke rings
Drifting by my eyesLulling me into
A tranquil state of mind
Induced by rolling smoke rings
