And now for something completely different (another haiku game)

[Arctic]

Add one line to each
unfinished haiku above
Then start a new one.

What does this mean?

Poster A: Posts the first line to a haiku
Poster B: Adds the second line to A's haiku, and begins his own haiku
Poster C: Finishes A's haiku, continues B's haiku and starts his own haiku.

First haiku will start with this line:
