Haiku Challenge for Feb. 25: ‘Game’

Today’s haiku challenge:

Today's @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word 'game' in it….

— baffled (@baffled) February 25, 2021

My style is the five/seven/five syllable structure. Here are my five haiku poems:

in the game of love
I was a squirrel climbing
burning sequoias.

in the game of love
I was a juggler at night
of thumping heartbeats.

in the game of love
I was a bat, asleep when
you came to my cave.

in the game of love
I was an artist painting
on a gray canvas.

in the game of love
I was a butterfly in
a pretty bell jar.
