For those unfamiliar with the term, think of 'haikai' as an extended form of 'haiku': alternating stanzas of 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllable lines. (Historically, haiku evolved from the starting verse of haikai.)

The fun begins when one person posts a stanza(s), and another starts a comment thread with a new stanza. Thus, the more the merrier!
