This is a fun game you've invented, John. Maybe we need some rules, though. It should probably be where the one who answers provides the next haiku, but there should be a time limit so the game can continue if someone decides to pass. This isn't a shot at Tom, as his answer hasn't been up long.
But, it could become an issue.
Also, maybe people with too much time on their hands could provide three haikus: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Mine obviously falls into the first category, and I'd say yours is somewhere between intermediate and advanced, John. I only knock it back a bit because Outlaw Josey Wales was on the tip of my mind earlier, but I wasn't sure until your last clue.
