Let's do Haiku!

[mutepointe]

Here's the Wikipedia brief explanation. Someone clever can start. Each person gets a line. We'll use the English, rather than the Japanese format.

Haiku (俳句, haikai verse?) listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras (or on), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.[1] Haiku typically contain a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji or verbal caesura. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku.[2] Previously called hokku, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.

May I start this time, Mute?

I am now assuming, optimistically, that Mute will say yes. I know it is dangerous to assume, where he is concerned, but .... here is another first line:
