Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
February 27, 2003
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 hails the arts...
In honor of the fact that this Thursday at my school is ArtsFest:
Seventeen syll'bles
Make an artistic statement
Arranged in three lines
--Elizabeth
Haiku number two is Haiku of the Week for its hailing Earth's most distant traveler...
Farewell to old friend:
Pioneer 10 falls silent;
Onward to the stars.
--Roy Smith
