Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
March 21, 2002
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 foretells the one awards show that rules them all...
Elves and Dwarves and Men
Oh My! Must watch the Oscars
Just to see them win!
--Julie
Haiku number two ushers in the new season today...
Spring is almost here
Now that winter is over
Allergies are here
--Paul
Haiku number three displays an up-to-date knowledge of two different comic strips...
This is just to say I *really* relate to this week's Foxtrot strips....
Spring break is boring.
Stuck home, everyone else gone,
Not even spring yet!
(And to stick with last week's theme...)
But one thing is fun,
No, better than fun, the best:
Rockwood comic strips!
--Elizabeth
Haiku number four is Haiku of the Week for linking the new color of the universe to fashion...
There are obvious fashion/cosmetic advantages to a beige universe versus a blue-green universe.
Universe in beige,
Neutral enough to go with
Every skin tone
--Mikki
Finally, haiku number five ends on an artistic note...
For Haiku Thursday (It isn't really related to Rockwood sorry...)
The light reflects off
Of the new fallen rain drops,
Drowning the marked ground.
--evan
