Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 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!
Haiku number one tries to decode the mysteries of Haiku of the Week...
Haiku of the Week,
A Zen thing, huh? Not unlike
A blooming lotus.
--Elizabeth
Haiku number two proposes selling out the fourth planet...
Mars, an opportunity for humanity
Mars, expensive trip.
To turn a profit from Mars,
Have a Red Mars Beer.
--Leif
Haiku number three's author wants to be a TV star...
Al complains because
He is in a comic strip.
Whoo! I'm on TV.
Yes, I have noticed,
She has the same name. I wish
My mom were so cool....
--Rory
Haiku number four thinks Mars money could be better spent...
Off we go to Mars?
I would use Skip's "change" for good,
Not evil, I swear!
--Karshia
Haiku number five is the Haiku of the Week for describing how we got most of our viewers...
Up all night online,
Looking up strange, geeky sites.
This one fits the bill.
--Ger32
