Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
April 18, 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!
The author of haiku number doesn't dread the middle of April ...
I know most people can't stand the IRS and tax day but I really don't mind it that much...yet.
Tax day is the best
If one is born on that day,
Lucky just for me.
It is also great
If one does not need to file,
Yay for being poor.
--Mikki
Haiku number two has been inspired by our banner ad...
I just discovered
The world of Rockwood last week.
Two words: Space Fetus
--Q
Haiku number three gets 10 points and is Haiku of the Week for not only knowing how to read the "title" tags behind each cartoon, but also for knowing the answer to last Monday's strip ...
Here's a two-part Haiku.
Daylight savings strip:
Al and Mitch discuss wish for
Twelve inch pianist.
The hidden message
Offers reward for knowledge.
Do I get ten points?
--Dale
