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 welcomes the return of haikus...
Welcome Back, Brian.
How was the week vacation?
Now get back to work.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two's author has obviously ordered a calendar. Have you?...
It's finally here!
My new Rockwood Calendar
Life is very good
--Jane Rohan
Haiku number three has some good ideas for pay-per-view...
Two things worth seeing:
Britney-Jess's wedding night.
K-Fed Sterilized
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four makes us wonder, "If this can't bring As The Apple Turns out of hiding, what can?"...
Apple and Disney!
Steve Jobs as new CEO?
New iMovie store?
--Gregory Brand
Haiku number five will find out soon enough where we've been...
Rockwood out of town
No new haikus or mailbag
Really got me down.
Where has the team gone?
Playoff games to photograph?
We'll find out anon.
--Bad Panda
Haiku number six jumped the gun a little when it was written two weeks ago...
did i miss the deadline? probably... oh well, there's always next week when we all try to make up for the dismal turnout...
while i normally don't comment on sports stuff it's been hard not to root for the colts this season. indianapolis is crazy and blue everywhere! thus an ode of good luck for the team...
superbowl hopes high,
dungy and colts: best around!
let this be their year
must admit i am
ignorant about the game...
still, can cheer them on
--mikki
So haiku number seven gets Haiku of the Week, mainly because we like Tony Dungy and think he should get something out of this season...
Since my previous haiku submission is horribly old news ...poor Colts...
colts so close again,
can't make it past the playoffs
but steelers had game...
who to root for now?
don't really care anymore...
will root for....winner!
I will still party,
play games, hang out with friends, plus
dave's making chili
--Mikki
p.s. (secret new recipe chili even)
