Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
February 9, 2006
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 reminds us of that old adage about TV, "If you don't like it, turn it off." It's not, "If you don't like it, burn it to the ground"...
Bad stereotype.
Cartoons paint a dark picture,
So Muslims riot.
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku number two doesn't have much spam in it...
Spam spam spam spam spam
Spam Spam Spam Spammity Spam!
Spammity Spam! SUCKS!
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three is getting mentally prepared for "Up Close and Personal" segments...
Torino is HERE!
Let the fluff, err, Games BEGIN.
Go GOLD, USA.
--Sarcasmo
As for haiku number four, how could we not want to hear from the Haiku of the Week ?...
