Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
January 29, 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 keeps us from ending up empty-handed...
Why do I do this?
So that there won't be just one.
That was kind of sad.
--Hannah Orlove
Haiku number two looks forward to a potential snoozer in the big game this weekend...
Pat's versus the Cats.
Battle of the defenses.
Zero-zero tie?
--The Raven's Mirror
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for incorporating our typos (with the correct number of syllables) into haiku form...
Reference to the typo (...since fixed--ed.) in the last mailbag response:
"Simlation?" Uh-oh.
Proofer watching Pre-game show?
Or the Golden Globes?
--Sarcasmo
