- 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 muses on the creator of Ally McBeal...
Is Haiku Thursday
On time this week? Then I'll read
it, after some sleep.
David E. Kelley
Must be stopped before he makes
Yet another show
--Elizabeth
Haiku number two is getting in the holiday spirit...
Halloween Costume?
I want to be Kepler, but
They'll think I'm Lisa!
This one is pretty silly. Still don't know what costume I'll wear. Oh well. Um I mean Lisa Simpson. Ugh. Haiku should not need explaining, but I ran out of room. :-(
--DJ Tarbox
And haiku number three highlights this week's punctuality as compared to last week's lateness...
Rockwood fans - spoiled by
Brian's selfless devotion.
All on time this week!
Thanks Brian!
--Christina Fraser
Haiku number four questions the judgement of a former Mouseketeer...
Brian,
About Christina...
Voulez-vous, say what?
How dare someone sing that song.
We know REAL meaning...
--Shadow
Haiku number five makes some current event points, but we're not sure what they are...
Hello. This isn't exactly rockwood-esque, yet it does mention jar-jar. Current event related, though. I'm not a big fan of the smackdown on iraq part two. Hope you enjoy.
all hope is lost now
we frown at george's jar-jar
should be george's war
--CSLindas
Finally haiku number six is Haiku of the Week reminding us once again of an easily forgotten holiday...
Today is Mole Day.
Why is it not in Rockwood?
Why don't you like chem?
You prefer physics,
But chemistry helped make it.
Why no history?
--Hannah Orlove
