In honor of our "Jesus Is My Friend" cover video becoming our most watched video on YouTube, it's time for Haiku Challenge V!We haven't done this in a while (here are rounds I, II, III , and IV)!
The rules are simple:
A haiku is composed with three lines, of syllable-lengths 5-7-5. Add yours in the comments, below. Your haiku must begin with the last word of the one just before yours. You may play more than once, but not twice-in-a-row. Here's one to get us going.
Jesus is my friend.
He is likely your friend too.
Won't you tell us why?
