Haikai Everyone

I have been reading some articles about Haikai, which is collaborative poetry. In Japan, this form of poetry has been around for a long time and is sort of a combination of a game and literature. Haiku is done by just doing one verse, by one person.

I am fairly ignorant of the subtleties of this process, but I thought it might be fun to experiment a bit. Anybody with me? I gather that there are a lot of ways to do this poetry. I am going to set the following, simple guidelines and then let's see what develops.

I will write the first verse, which will be three lines long, with a maximum of 17 syllables.
The brave soul who decides to write verse two is limited to two lines and a maximum of 14 syllables. This verse should show at least a slight reference to the first one, but should also go off in another direction.
The third verse is back to three lines, 17 syllables max. and references verse two with a new twist.
We alternate between two and three line verses.
The poem should always start with a three line verse and end with a two line verse.
The general idea is that each person adds their own little change of direction to the poem and the rest of us hang on and see where we end up.

Put your verses in as comments and identify the number of the verse that you are writing.(just to make it easier for everyone to follow the order). In case two people write the same number verse, the first one added wins.

I hope this will be fun. Here goes:

Summer sun and rain alternate
A pleasant sort of conflict
I doze
