Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
November 7, 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 roots for the team with the best record in the Norris Division, but not Team Rockwood's favorite team...
elections are here
green bay in the superbowl
much more exciting
--CsLindasJr
Haiku number two is disturbed by the pages we find when we randomly follow links off of other people's web pages...
This haiku celebrates psychological torture:
Rathergood-dot-com
At first the kittens were cute,
then they bothered me.
By the way, how does one stumble across such a strange website?
--Dale
Haiku number three is Haiku of the Week with it's backhanded compliment to this week's Republican landslide. But don't fret, Elizabeth! Your state will have a chance to correct it's gubernatorial mistake in four years!
Yikes! Republicans
In control of the Senate,
And the White House, too.
(on a nicer note my state got its first Dem. Gov. in roughly 30 yrs.)
--Elizabeth
