    Another component of Haiku is that it will often "borrow" lines or key words from earlier composers to add greater depth to the meaning without increasing length.

    Unforgiving stone
    Orange coal under dancing flames -
    Why aren't both paintings?

    Anyone here familiar with renga? It's linked poetry where the first poet writes three lines 5-7-5 and the next person continues the poem with two lines of 7-7. The person after that does 5-7-5, then 7-7, followed by 5-7-5 and the cycle continues.

    My mind is racing.
    As always, nothing makes sense.
    Why is life so hard?

    It has been a while
    Since I last wrote a haiku
    Feeling nostalgic
