Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
January 8, 2004
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 makes up for its miscounting last week...
OOPS! HELLO Oh Four.
And bid Goodbye to Oh THREE.
I'm one that can't count.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two finds that not everything changes with the new year...
It's a brand NEW YEAR!
It is snowing and windy
Damn, same old weather.
--Larry C.
Haiku number three spins a tale of the Big Easy...
styleless Sooners
suck in sordid Salami
Bowl. N'awlins is drunk.
--Stunner
The answer to haiku number four is, it's not what you know, it's who you know to work for...
A haiku in honor of this:
Brian wasn't there!
It was merely some nifty
Photoshop magic.
Seriously though,
how did you score a sideline
pass to such a game?
--Dale
We'll answer haiku number five, our Haiku of the Week, this way: Which team has the best overall record, beat the better opponent in its bowl game, and now owns the official national championship trophy? It ain't the Trojans, no matter what Keith Jackson thinks...
LSU takes it.
Sooners fall to great defense.
So, who's number ONE?
--Sarcasmo
