Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
December 12, 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 promotes an idea that isn't suitable for such a quiet and serene place as Haiku Thursday. However, it might work well on Fox...
Dedicated to
Two devoted readers; true
Rockwood Superfans:
Who likes Brian best?
Christina or 'Lizabeth?
Let's have a catfight!
--Roy
Haiku number two's author had waaaaaaayy too much time on his hands this week...
Love your strip. Just found you recently, through an astronomical friend. Here's my Haiku:
I'm out here in space
I think I'm getting dizzy
There's no "up' to throw
All the birds take flight
The sky is dark and cloudy
They vanish quickly
Its cold and crisp now
The night sky is full of stars
My tongue sticks again
Dang! Now you have me thinking in Haiku all the time.
The Sun shines brightly
A flower climbs through the snow
The Spring comes today
Haiku (God, I love this stuff)
You are sorely missed
Paperwork is backing up
It will greet you back
--Larry Campbell
Haiku number three eagerly awaits late February...
Time to deck the halls
Let's honeymoon in Paris
More fun than the malls
--CsLJr
Haiku number four doesn't suffer from triscadecaphobia...
Censorship again?
Boy, do I know what that's like.
My pity to Leif.
Friday the thirteenth,
New Star Trek and no more school,
The luckiest day!
--Elizabeth
Haiku number five gets us in the holiday spirit...
Birthdays come and go
Holidays slipping by too
Another year soon
May the peace and joy
Of December 25
Keep the light shining
--Alyce
Haiku number six has uncovered why we can't wait for new episodes of Dawson's Creek, even though we've never watched the show...
Looking at this week's mailbag, I noticed a few of the links. Do we have a favorite TWoP recapper in common?
"Spoiler Free", journal...
Brian's a Jessica fan?
A sign of good taste.
--Christina
Finally, haiku number seven is the Haiku of the Week because even though it's perfectly self-descriptive, it is also clean, simple, and fully representative of it's subject, just like a good haiku should be. Plus, we laughed out loud when we read it...
Heh heh huh huh heh
heh heh huh huh huh heh huh
Uh, this haiku SUCKS.
-- Butthead
