Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

- 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 takes a legitimate jab at Team Rockwood for claiming that all of his answers in last week's Haiku Thursday were incorrect when, in fact, one of them was right...
Wrong? Me? It can't be.
I did fail Physics though, so . . .
that seems about right.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two's author, however, couldn't quite make it to the correct/incorrect stage...
Engineer problem
For Engineer's Week has forced
My brain to shut dow....
--The Raven's Mirror
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for making us dream of the ultimate ticket of craziness, Nader-Perot...
Regarding political news:
Not Nader again!
It was bad enough last time;
Isn't once enough?
--Hannah Orlove
