Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
March 25, 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 comments on the spring weather...
The April showers
May bring the flowers that bloom
in the may (says Bugs)
But the March showers
bring nothing but mud mud mud.
I may prefer snow.
--Andrew Rawnsley
Haiku number two gets Haiku of the Week because its author clearly learned a lesson from last week's winner. Not to say that this tactic will work all the time, but it did work this week at least...
Lucky Charms taste good.
Marshmallows are the best part.
Just right in staleness.
Insert shameless plug.
For calendars or for mugs.
Whatever it takes.
--Sarcasmo
