Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 21, 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!
We forgot to put haiku number one in last week, so here it is now...
We feel your loss, friend,
As your dad suffers no more
A New journey starts.
Various beliefs
About what lies after life
Are all true in heart.
Remember his life.
For that memory of him
Will live forever.
Reflect on yourself.
Your life is determined by
The way you live it
Grieve in your own way
But do not let your sadness
Direct your actions
We wish you and fam
Our condolences heart felt
From the Leatherwoods.
--Mike Leatherwood
Haiku number two gets Haiku of the Week for knowing you don't have to leave everything behind...
New job starts Monday.
Leaving old friends to make new.
Rockwood moves with me.
--Sarcasmo
