Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
February 26, 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's author gives us 6.02x10^23 reasons to like chemists...
I do look forward to Engineers Week even though it's not my field of study and I celebrate a different scientific holiday...
Engineers Week may
be fun but as a chemist
I prefer Mole Day
--Mikki
While we appreiciate haiku number two's answering all of the engineering story problems in verse, we're afraid we can't reward it because all of its answers are wrong...
My very first try
At Engineer's Week Problems
and here's the result.
Answers: 9 p.m.
Thirteen point Eight Six meters-
per second and Yes
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for pointing out that even when things are going wrong as an engineer, they could always be worse...
For Haiku Thursday, and in memoriam of my average:
Depressed is failing
Electromagnetics test.
Still, not a lawyer.
--Randy
