Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

- 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 lights a candle instead of cursing the darkness...
black'd-out power-grid...
dynamo, generator:
electricity!

Haiku number two considers Skip's run for governor...
The Chin to Win! huh?
Jay Leno may take issue.
My vote would be Skip.
Slogan may confuse,
And help Skip get Chinese vote.
Whatever it takes.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for cleverly figuring out the timing necessary...
For editing ease,
the haiku sent last becomes
Haiku of the Week
