Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 28, 2005

- 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 echoes a similar theme to last week's haiku...
Unfamiliar place.
Rockwood inspires nostalgia.
New place feels like home.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two seems a little hazy...
(I'm surprised I was able to count my syllables correctly with what little brain power I seem to have lately...)
Mind is in a fog
I can't help but think of him
Know I'm losing it.
--Mikki
Haiku number three makes us wonder what a little black heat tile dress would look like...
Heat tiles are new black?
That's awesome. Can I get some?
Reunion looms near.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week, even though in the current context it's a little creepy...
Shuttle me away,
A place with no night or day,
A view to kill for.
--Tony J. Moyer
