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 kicks off Halloween by telling horrific tales of bad credit...
Scariest thing I can think of.
Out to eat, my treat
Waiter returns with bad news
Credit card maxed out
--Tom
Haiku number two tells of cats that aren't black...
Five Rockwoods this week?!
That is just way too many!
Yeah, it really sucks!
Who wants to read it?
Absolutely nobody!
We have got Garfield!
Just kidding! Scary enough for ya? Thanks for doing 5 and the mail and haikus. Now all I need is more candy and less homework to make this week perfect.
--Elizabeth
Haiku number three is making us batty...
Your dog gets rabies,
It bites more than any bat,
What lurks in your house?
Bats eat mosquitos
Birds contract West Nile Virus,
So Who's creepy now?
Please send a check or money order to batcon.org today! :-)
--Wallbat
Haiku number four is a thriller...
If you've seen MJ's video Ghosts you'll really get this one.
What is scarier?
Goblins, the undead, spooks or
Michael Jackson's face?
--Mikki
Haiku number five likes the tricks but is looking for the treats...
Cool spooky rockwood
Five strips of scary goodness
Wheres the candy corn?
--Will
Haiku number six would probably support a national holiday devoted to exercise ...
so you want a scare?
i can't help you, so sorry.
here is all i'll do.
halloween is sad-
all these little kids in suits-
eating too much food.
they will grow up soon
big, fat, and lazy adults
who expect free stuff.
--brian
Haiku number se7en thinks that the real day of horror is November 5th...
Kepler and cocoon,
Scary...sarcastic...Rockwood.
Naked as the moon.
Halloween comes soon,
Yet, no '03 calendar...
Better get it done.
Voting day arrives,
Florida across U.S.?
Another big mess?
Back to Halloween,
I need my sugar daddies,
Candy! Candy! burp....
Customes are galore,
Vampires, witches, skeletons...
Trick or Treat? More sweets!
--Leif
Haiku number eight's author waited until the last minute to make a costume decision...
Yes! Halloween is
Same day as Haiku Thursday.
Nice coincidence.
For Halloween should
I be Ankakin? Maybe
Gandalf the wizard?
--Shadow
Haiku number nine is co-Haiku of the Week, for staying in the Halloween spirit...
Treat or trick, trick, trick?
Halloween is Thursday nite.
WHoooooooo will be ghoulish?
Will and Skip? No way!
Beware Dana and Kepler...
Al, Mitch are ready.
Masters of disguise,
and ready with surprises,
what will their tricks be?
Only Brian knows,
Because he writes all the strips.
Suspense awaits us!
Will he "trick" us fast
or "treat" us very slowly?
Strips coming all week.
This is toooo boring.
Trying to count the rhythm.
Booooooooo to you Brian!
--Alyce
And haiku number ten is also co-Haiku of the Week, for being entertaining, but not Halloweeny. However, we'd like to add that just because we're too lazy to delete something from a page doesn't mean it has to be clicked every day...
My haiku about your paraboling skills:
Brian had a job
He worked a parabolic
WE KNOW BRIAN! PLEASE!
--Gizmo
