- 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 ...uh...well, it's unique...
Spoon? Yes, sir, I would.
Sure is difficult without.
Plastic will not work.
--Yes, please.
Haiku number two's author has an overdependence on Haiku Thursday...
Haiku is only
My one sense of distraction
From every day life.
--Larry Campbell
Haiku number three illustrates why we don't have a cat...
I have a black cat
Who always wants attention
Arrgh! Cat hair on shirt!
--The mysterious bob
Haiku number four's author must have been able to use the EZ forms...
Tax reminder - thanks!
I begin at eight, and by
eight-thirty I'm done!
(Of course, it's a lot easier when you get to exclude foreign earned income!) :)
--Christina
Haiku number five was spoken to its author by a muse, perhaps literally...
Why don't the voices
Just simply leave me alone
Forced to speak haiku!
--Name?
Haiku number six highlights popular topic this week: the haiku of others...
Amend makes comic
bid for Haiku of the Week!
I think he should win.
[P.S. You'll have to pronounce "Poem" as one syllable.]
-- The Jedi
Haiku number seven shows that a little bit of everything sometimes gets a little overwhelming...
Creativity
Beat me on sixteenth b-day?
Maybe I'll try it.
Creativity.
Creativity is great.
Creativity.
I don't think that went
Over well. I'll try again
At some other time.
Oh, and by the way,
All mothers: guard your children!
I am on the road!!!
Maybe "Masters" isn't the right word...
Foxtrot tries Haiku.
But cannot beat the Haiku
Masters at Rockwood.
Well, at least we try.
And I know Bill is kicking
Himself for that one.
--Thy Raven's Mirror
Finally, haiku number eight earns Haiku of the Week for incorporating Fox Trot with his broken streak...
Woe is me. Wednesday
Came and went. Me? Haiku-less.
The streak is over.
The streak re-starts now.
No more procrastination.
Who am I kidding?
What's with Bill Amend?
His Haiku was one day late.
Haiku Friday, now?
--Sarcasmo
