Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 11, 2002

- 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 attempts to fill two voids at once...
Writing for giggles
and kicks or just for my five
minutes of fame? Well . . .
Haiku Thursday was
looking kind of puny so
here is my two cents:
Skip should buy Apple,
and hire Jack: Appleturns
forever! Woo haa!
--Q.
Is haiku number two good luck or bad luck? Only time will tell...
"Go Rockwood!" I cry!
Brian is uneasy now.
Maybe I'm a jinx!
--Christina
Haiku number three is the Haiku of the Week for being the most timely...
More on the strike...
I can't watch baseball!?
Don't watch baseball anyway...
Guess I'm on strike too!
--Chris Dyal
