Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
September 8, 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 sees inspiration everywhere...
Life is poetic
Metaphors are ev'rywhere
You must seek them out
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku number two invites the wrath of Norse gods...
How's this title work:
"Hagar the Skippable Strip"
Not funny, just true.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three... or should we say, Haiku: Episode III...
Oh I hate the end of summer crushes....
love how it does suck
star wars helps to ease the pain
too bad jar-jar lived
sage words sarcasmo
bump on the log that i am
have only gone once
--mikki
Haiku number four is Haiku of the Week for closing out the summer months...
Three day weekend blast
The memory that will last
Burned skin by the sun
Lake had no mercy
My sun block washed off early
But, hey, it was fun.
Rockwood no update
Improvements made mailbag late
What is Irving's fate?
--Bad Panda
