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 says goodbye to America's drinking holiday...
St. Patrick's over
Corned beef and cabbage devoured
And beer guzzled down
--Paul
Haiku number two questions the madness of March...
I know a couple people who make March Madness look a little pathetic but that's only 'cause they don't have lives and act like it's the highlight of their year.
March madness is here
Time to bet, watch and obsess
Just why is this cool?
--Mikki
Haiku number three wins Haiku of the Week for recognizing what is truly important. Boomer Sooner!
Universe beige. So?
Oklahoma wins again!
On to final four!
