Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

- 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 is lovin' it...
The consensus is:
Burger King dude is CREEPY.
Big Mac and fries please.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two gets Haiku of the Week because, along with The King, it creeps us out...
Frankly, I think the cult leader they hired for the "sitting" commercials, Dr. Angus, is a little scarier than the Burger King himself. In fact I'd be willing to bet the King is an example of what becomes of Angus's followers.
He makes you hungry.
Friendly, happy burger man
Love is a burger
Shiny face, blank grin.
Don't look into his dead eyes.
That isn't ground beef...
--Brian #3
