Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
December 11, 2003
The content on this page is solely created by you, the viewers, so if you want to see more, you'll have to contribute something yourself.
- Haikus are a form of poetry that consists of three lines with five, seven, then five syllables on each respective line. For example...
Rockwood is in space (5 syllables)
On a circular station (7 syllables)
Looking down on Earth (5 syllables)
Obviously, that's pretty boring, but technically correct. Try to do more than just count syllables. Be creative!
- The haiku you submit doesn't necessarily have to have Rockwood mentioned in it, but it would be nice if it related to something in the site somehow, whether it be space-related or just pertaining to a topic brought up elsewhere.
On with the haikus!
Haiku number one wishes a belated greeting...
Sorry if I did
forget your birthday it must
have slipped my mind, gah!
--Subit
Haiku number two sends holiday greetings...
Loving hugs abound
In a 'large car' she has come
My momma is here
Dishes in the tub
Soaking off the moldy crud
Awash, bleachy soap
Dusty webs of mud
From logger boots long since tread
lovingly swept out
Piddle and poop spots,
muddy tracks from puppies feet,
now are memory
Jesus had Mary
Rockwood has the earth above
I have my mother
At this Christmas time
Let all men pause thoughtfully,
No mothers, no sons.
--Bandit
And haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week just for picking the most important event of the past week...
Ouch! KS won that?
That sucks, as does BCS.
Saw Weird Al - He rules.
