The Haiku Game

This is a game that I learned from the Brunchma Boards (The message boards that originally were from the wonderous website Brunching.com)
Since I didn't see such a game here, I guess I'll make a post, though, being a newer member, I'm loathe to do such...
In essence, it's played simply. One person makes a haiku, and then the person after them makes another, using the last line of the previous haiku as the first line of theirs. It's great fun, and often hilarious, once it gets going.
So, let's get it started!
Today, I vanished
into the mists, discovering
a rubber duckling.

(okay, you left this one at impossible. Don't groan, this keeps it going)
Slips between my hands,
undershirts under my arms,
I'm doing laundry.

My ring does nothing.

My ring does nothing
And I am afraid to try

Gone over the edge
Like a beached whale, sun-drying.
Might as well relax.
