- 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 caught us in an embarrassing (but now fixed) math mistake, where we had trouble adding how many syllables were in a haiku...
I am confus'd, for
I thought five plus seven plus
five is seventeen.
--Amanda
Haiku number two's author is attempting to single-handedly revive the tech economy...
I got my new computer yesterday! Here is a haiku I wrote in honor of it:
My new computer
is not Pentium powered.
It uses Athlon.
--James Connely
Haiku number three looks to the edge of the Solar system...
Fare-thee-well old friend
You have served your master well
God's speed Pioneer
--Larry Campbell
Haiku number four has been suckered in by our mind-numbing archives...
Archives are a beautiful thing. Reading them, I was inspired. Haiku Thursday Submission:
I'm new to Rockwood
Thanks to Coast to Coast AM
Their Web Site sent me.
Keep up the good work
These Haikus are a riot!
I'll be back for more.
Prophetic Author?
See 10-26-01
Does Bush read these too?
I'm all caught up now.
And it only took 2 hours.
2 days wait for more.
--Sarcasmo-King of the Cynics
Haiku number five is just the first of many to experience pain from puns...
Aaah! No, not a pun!
I cannot stand all these puns!
It is not pun-ny.
For Lent, I will give
Up my Chemistry homework.
That'll work, won't it?
--The Raven's Mirror
Haiku number six's pun strikes back...
Some plant fans and Sheen
Went down south to New Orleans
Here is their story
Horticulturists
And war protesting actor
Say "Show us your Bush"
--CsLjr
Haiku number seven takes an old pun and haiku-izes it...
Hmm...that was one heck of a groaner on Wednesday...but it was a funny pun. On with the Haikus!
A hole in the wall,
At a nudist camp. Police,
looking into it.
--Leif
Finally, haiku number eight is Haiku of the Week because, once again, we respond best to being bribed...
It's March already?
I need a calendar, please!
Any left, Brian?
But did you notice
My request was a haiku
As well as a sale?
--Christina
