Author notes
This Senryu chain uses all of the words mentioned in the contest's announcement.
I count 25 words in this Senryu chain -- but I could not follow the Haiku rules of 5-7-5 syllables for each poem and meet your word count rule! Thus, these poems are Modern or "American" Haikus (actually Senryus, because they are about human things.)
