Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
November 21, 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 goes to show that just because sometimes we don't understand 'em, it doesn't mean we won't run 'em...
First annivers'ry
Of the so mysterious
one Haiku Thirteen
--Elizabeth
Haiku number two fears fear itself...
we all fear hussein
maybe we should fear ourselves
still saddams insane
--CsLindasJr
Haiku number three tries for a little bit of everything...
Four score and seven
coffee mugs ago - Brian's
honoring Lincoln!
(And by the way...)
You really should see
the new Harry Potter film.
It's really quite good!
--Christina
Haiku number four brings to mind our answer: way back in August ...
A simple Haiku to honor the most stable OS on the planet (and in orbit, thanks to Will's iMac):
I can't remember
the last time I restarted:
I love OS X.
--Peter Krug
Finally, haiku number five is Haiku of the Week in our blatant attempt to get the "geek" hits this week. Anyone who can make code into haiku deserves something, don't you think?
This haiku pretty much sums up my day:
rm -rf
dangerous if misapplied
still recovering
(the first line is pronounced "ar em dash ar eff" - five syllables)
-- The Jedi
