Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
March 11, 2004

- 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 reminds us that studying is necessary to acheive riches. Unless you inherit it, that is...
End of the quarter
So I've been busy but I'll
Still submit something.
Those mere millionaires
Must have it tough. I don't know--
I've got forty, tops.
--Elizabeth
Haiku number two doesn't think that voting is for old people...
Silly and serious:
I am now eighteen.
w00t! Rockwood and my birthday;
Could it get better?
[Answer: Naah.]
Turn eighteen today.
Legally, I'm an adult.
I won't vote for Bush.
--Hannah Orlove
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for creeping us out (again...is this becoming a theme?)...
Yes, Nader-Perot.
But if they are in San Fran,
Ralph and Ross Nader
--Sarcasmo
