Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
June 23, 2005
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 breaks new ground by being the first haiku on Haiku Thursday to ever be dedicated to another writer...
I was inspired by the Tuesday, 6/14 Mailbag, which I read after a particularly grueling day.
This Haiku is meant to be a compliment.
john tiong chunghoo
The first line of this Haiku
Its a name that sings.
--Rockwood Fan
Haiku number two perhaps pins down a method of future success...
Here's what Rockwood needs:
A fat lazy slob sells strips.
Al should be fatter.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three makes us wonder, were the '80s better, or are our memories worse...
Entry for Haiku Thursday
As I listen to
The Alan Parsons Project
I miss the Eighties
Summers were longer
In the Eighties when I was
Just a Yankee punk
Chasing pretty girls
Swimming at the public pool
Rooting for the Sox
Life is too fast now
Working, eating, avoiding
The bill collector.
It's good to be young
It's hard to be older, though
The sex is better.
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku number four scores one for Team Rockwood...
Jibe at Jim Davis
Deflates the feline ego
One-nil to the team
--Chris Darnell
Haiku number five wins Haiku of the Week simply for making us laugh...
Hi, I think you're cute
Wow, you're name is Paris too?
Cool, let's get married.
--Habte-Snif
