- 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 titters over the name of a mountain range...
Something for Haiku Thursday...
Haiku number four
last week mentions: "Grand Tetons"
French for "Big Nipples"
--Richie
Haiku number two reminds us of why we're glad we're no longer in school...
Concerning Labor Day and evil teachers who I swear are the incarnations of the Devil:
Extra-long weekend
Meant a whole lot of homework!
Bad, evil teachers!
--Shadow
Haiku number three's author has good taste in friends...
A friend recommends
"This real funny online strip."
Hee hee hee, they're right.
--Fiona
Haiku number four is impatient. This story has been out one day...
I can't believe you haven't made fun of this yet. This calls for a commemorative haiku!
Lance Bass or cargo?
Russians decide on the box.
It's not quite as lame.
--Dale
And haiku number five is the Haiku of the Week for recognizing our sometimes foolish choice of entertaining over sleeping...
Thanks for the effort, Brian - we all appreciate it.
Brian is up late
Updating the Rockwood site
For us all to read.
I'm glad he does, too.
Midnight in Oklahoma
Six a.m. England!
Even when it's late,
Usually up in time
To see at 9 - thanks!
--Christina
