Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
September 26, 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 bemoans 12 months of schooling...
Why can't we start school in September, like the rest of the country!
Been in School for weeks,
Sucks when you have "year-round" school,
Stupid Mayor guy.
Year-round for dumb kids!
Why cause the average pain?
come to think of it,
Average is bad,
How can you get only C's?
They are not too smart!
--Dave
Haiku number two's author thinks we lack a work ethic...
No new strip Monday?
Some lame excuses instead...
What is up with that???????
-- The Jedi
Haiku number three sent us scrambling for a dictionary...
"Rabid"? I must say!
But fine, I'll found a fanclub:
Rockwood Hydrophobes
--Karl Wagenfuehr
Finally, haiku number four is the Haiku of the Week for extolling the virtues of old guys and their fists...
Buzz Aldrin asks: have
You punched a conspiracy
Theorist today?
--Roy
