Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
April 4, 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, unfortunately, was much more relevant when it was written than it is now...
Last week's haiku page reminded me to brag:
It's shopping spree time:
Yay! I am so rich! I bet
On Oklahoma!
--Ellie M.
Haiku number two's author has obviously been reading this week's mailbag page...
Haiku's my first try
Sure hope they aren't pathetic
So here goes nothing
Another month passed
Finally can flip the page
Calendar Suspense
A great idea
Will has solved insomnia
Except down under
Silly Australians
With their beer Can Regatta
Evolution paused
--Greg
Haiku number three is Haiku of the Week for correctly identifying where most of the traffic on this site has come from...
Surfing the net late
Find a funny called Rockwood
Thanks to Bill Amend
--Mike Leatherwood
Finally, haiku number four shows that sometimes giant corporations really don't know what they're doing...
On Haiku Thursday
productivity declines
must check Rockwood now.
clueless Microsoft
wages anti Unix War
from Linux server
When they use Windows
The web site serves a blank page
or crashes. Funny!
--Brian
