- 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 speaks up quickly to remedy last week's problem...
Only two haikus?
Lacking participation.
I submit one now!
--Shadow
Haiku number two wants more, which is always a good sign...
As the Apple Turns
Is finally broadcasting
with consistancy...
Thanks much Team Rockwood
You helped my humor cravings
But please, have no fear
I am such of fan
of your funny comic strip
that I'll not soon leave.
My only wish is
that you'd post cartoons daily.
You rock my face off!
--Andy
Haiku number three's author laughs at real life situations, and really, who could blame her...
I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait until Thursday!
Al gets yawning sprain?
It's based on a true story?!?
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but -
bahahahahahaha!
--Christina
Haiku number four obviously doesn't believe in the up and coming Mozilla browser...
"Reload" not "Refresh"
Does that mean Team Rockwood...gasp!
Don't do it my friend!
--Dave
Haiku number five's author might get just a bit too stressed over tests...
Three exams today
Statics, Dynamics, Thermo
Brain just exploded
Three different profs
I think they are in cahoots
To make my life hell
It will be worth it
Once I graduate from here
Still, profs need to die
--Greg Brand
Haiku number six boldly (and, perhaps, foolishly for early October?) predicts at least one of the teams that will end the year in Tempe...
OU - Texas - What?
Hurricanes too powerful.
Miami no. 1.
Can't wait for bowl game.
Texas? OU? Notre Dame?
Who wants to get killed?
Spurrier went Pro.
I guess a realist with 'Canes
on slate next two years.
Please don't blow it 'Canes.
You have talent to win out.
Invincible? No.
Must prepare for all
games. Even girls school on slate.
Yes, you Free Shoes U.
--Peter Krug
Finally, haiku number seven is Haiku of the Week for sticking it to Bud...
Haiku in honor of Twins in the ALCS - and the asinine comments of owner Carl Pohlad in the locker room, telling a reporter he'd *still* contract the Twins, even as the players were celebrating around him!
Homer Hankies and
Rally Monkeys stick it to
Selig and Pohlad!
Abberation? NO!
Twins win in five to show up
Arrogant Commish.
Pohlad should keep his
Mouth shut in locker room! He
Still wants to fold Twins?!?
Twins fans want to kick
Banker's billion-dollar hide
Out of ThunderDome!
--Wally
