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 fails to realize that there's ALWAYS time for the King...
Traveling for work.
To Memphis for a whole week.
No time for Graceland.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two gets Haiku of the Week because it contains an obvious answer: "China" and "Tang" just seem to go together, don't they?...
Sure, the Chinese and the Russians are all up in space and everthing but let's focus on the really important issue....
NASA flights grounded,
Russians, Chinese head to space
Who's got the best Tang?
--Mikki
