Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
August 7, 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 suspects, incorrectly, that Team Rockwood went north for other reasons...
The real reason Brian went to Canada...
(PS: please note the quasi-rhopalic form of my haiku :-)
Whither Canada?
Lucrative undertakings:
Pharmaceuticals
--Karl Wagenführ
Haiku number two is right. Nothing like this would happen on "the frozen tundra"...
Monday Night Football
Do Packers look like winners?
Alas, we'll not know
Down by nine points. Stop!
A little lousy weather
won't end Lambeau games
--brian
Haiku number three seemed to like Rockwood's surreal moment...
Surreal strip, surreal haiku:
Hey, look at that head;
An orange on a toothpick.
No black T-shirts, please!
--Christina
...whereas haiku number four is kind of ambivalent...
Something's not quite right.
Surreal is just too scary.
Suck up? No thank you.
--Sarcasmo
...and haiku number five, well, was not impressed...
Rockwood mocks lame strips
and in doing so becomes
every bit as lame.
-- The Jedi
But haiku number six gets Haiku of the Week for rightly shaming us on last week's technical mishap...
Busted monitor?
Any self-respecting geek
keeps two or three spares.
-Roy
