Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
June 19, 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 reminds us that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Of course, he's already several hundred steps in...
brian's a black belt
congratulations! too cool!
I'm only a green
--Brian also
Haiku number two thinks we forgot, when in truth we never knew...
With all the excitement over your newly acquired black belt, guess what you forgot...
Such disappointment!
Escher's birthday - no tribute?
Busy with black belt?
--Christina
Haiku number three warns of taunting the artist...
Brian gets black-belt.
Don't mess with the cartoonist
When comic is late.
--The Raven's Mirror
Haiku number four makes us wonder, what good is a phone call if we're unable to speak...
Adapted from SNL:
"I know Kung Fu." "For
The last time, Mr. Lundmark,
No, you don't." Yeah, right.
--Hannah Orlove
Haiku number five proves that some tests must be graded on a curve...
Math exam today
I divided by zero!
Guess what? I passed it!
--Ryan
Finally, haiku number six is Haiku of the Week for asking what we've all been wondering since we were little kids. Maybe the new movie will explain it...
Hulk grows much bigger-
He rips out of shirt and shoes,
but not pants. What gives?
--Sarcasmo
