- 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 likes simple best...
Multi-verse Haiku?
I would NEVER stoop so low.
All you people CHEAT!!!
-- The [Bitter] Jedi :-)
Haiku number two speaks of the dangers of too many chocolate rabbits...
I ate way too much
For the Easter Holiday
I think I'll be sick.
--Larry C.
Haiku number three apparently hasn't heard of Fahrenheit 911...
I've got nothing. Zilch.
The war? Practically over.
Nothing to say now.
I can't wait for Moore,
His heartfelt apology
Will brighten my day.
Nope, that won't happen.
Bowling For Saddam Hussein?
Next year's best picture.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four is another lament on a missing site...
To continue on a recent theme...
Damn you, Jack Miller
We're back, promises your note
From Feb. Eleventh
So many good things
Introduced me to Rockwood
Gave me -y goodness
I'm happy for you
Anya is quite a cute kid
But a big time waste
She's what, a year old?
Time to start contributing
Site needs an update
Stop your whining, Jack
My need for entertainment
Outweighs yours for sleep
Of course, this is written in jest (kind of), but it really would be neat to see it come back on the air...
--Greg
And haiku number five gets Haiku of the Week for knowing the secret drive behind the nation's obsession with haikus...
USA Today
says haiku is now da bomb--
But no "Rockwood" props??
--David C.
