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!
What makes a good Haiku of the Week? Well, it should be a unique idea. Haiku number one describes the hardships of school...
school sucks a whole lot
went to bed at 3 a.m.
tomorrow will suck
--Mixshamus
Alas, haiku number two also describes the hardships of school...
The tests are over.
I survived. Chem was easy,
History was hard.
--Elizabeth
Haiku number three uses one word to fill an entire line in its quest for HOTW...
Monosyllabic
Means only one syllable
But gets its own line
--Cody
Sadly, haiku number four also uses one word to fill an entire line...
My mind, somehow is
Uncharacteristically
blank - too much schoolwork.
Seven syllables
In just one word. Is that worth,
Haiku of the Week?
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number five tells of other methods to learn classical music...
Cartoons? Bah! I learned
Classical music from the
Great Stanley Kubrick.
Go Alex!
--Hannah Orlove
Haiku number six misses the HOTW mark by also telling of other methods to learn classical music...
Classical music
in cartoons, yes. But *I* learned
from P.D.Q. Bach!
Christina
Leaving haiku number seven as the Haiku of the Week for correctly stating that rules can be new, and rules can be unstated, but they can't be both...
"New, unstated rule"...
Paradox? Oxymoron?
"That's rediculous"!
--larK
