Well, don't let it be said that Team Rockwood is afraid of experimentation, because we have no idea if this thing is going to fly or not. So...welcome to Haiku Thursday! 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, because we're too busy writing comics and watching TV. That said, let's get some ground rules out of the way...
- 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. Don't use Haiku Thursday just to vent your angry poetry...unless it's really good, that is, in which case, vent away!
So, let's get started!
Haiku number one makes a guess at the true identity of Team Rockwood
Well I'm not too good
At poetry but here is
My Rockwood haiku
Rockwood rocks! Woohoo! Keep it up, guy! (Cause there is only one Brian, from I can tell.)
Hope enough people write in!
--Kelsey
Haiku number two, as far as we can tell, has nothing to do with anything here. We'll just let it stand on its own...
Butterfly wings flap,
In Moscow a storm rages
Chaos in theory
--AlphaDeltaEpsilon#196
Haiku number three comes from someone who's spent a little too much time downloading the latest three Star Wars trailers...
The jedi returns
Humor is his lightsaber
Beware the dork side...
-- The Jedi
Haiku number four captures part of the essence of Rockwood in seventeen syllables...
And here's my contribution for Haiku Thursday. I'll admit it's derivative, but what the hell.
Slam movies daily
And bash celebrities too
Formula Rockwood
Enjoy!
--Kegan
Haiku number proves that celebrity is not all it's cracked up to be...
Um, so here I sit
Trying to write a haiku
So I can have fame.
-JohnnyBoy
Haiku number six reveals the true reason for the recent economic downturn...
Rockwood distractions
Hours of work lost to reading
Can't resist the jokes
--Holly
Haiku number seven comes from someone who should be looking up Sheryl Crow instead of comic strips...
Want a good poet?
You're looking at the wrong guy,
I just want some fun!
--Rinaldo
Haiku number eight is Haiku of the Week for reasons that anyone who has read through the archive should know...
Well, becuase I could not find the JoshMeister's email on his page, this is just tell him that his "inside joke" is misspelled if he wants to be site #2 for the thing on Google. Leisha spelled it "humor" not "humour."
Oh, bootylicious
litterbox humor has no
"u" in that one place.
--Borish
Haiku number nine almost gets the double play, but miscounts in the first verse...
Haiku 4 u ok? (six syllables does not a haiku make!)
It's Monday, but so what, eh.
brain working today.
As the apple turns
On a honeymoon journey.
Rockwood turns in stead
--chipGeek
Haiku number ten begs the question, "does she like chocolate in her peanut butter?"
First FoxTrot, then you. I'm sick & tired of Harry Potter in my comics!!!!
Harry Potter is
In my Rockwood and Foxtrot
Get out, get out now!!!!!!
--Nina the Ninny
Haiku number eleven picks up on the recent rash of letters about the design of the web page, but misses in his psychoanalysis...
Ode to Brian
Everyone asks him
'Bout little grey orbit things
Yet he still is sane.
--Rocky
Haiku number twelve probably overestimates the influence we have on other sites...
Rockwood pays tribute
and so As The Apple Turns
Gains seven viewers
--Brian
Finally, haiku number thirteen...uh...well, we don't know what was going on with this guy...
raindrops: marbles lost
all fall down, break on the ground
pitter patter plop
