Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
October 2, 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 makes us wonder, why not just call the date off?
homecoming coming
hate my date, so I'll be late
and she pays, for me
Good for Jipers
--Conor McGee
We only provide the link below so that haiku number two will make sense...
Bad-ger bad-ger bad-
ger bad-ger mush-room mush-room
ahhh! oh no! a snake!
-- The Jedi
Haiku number three won't trick us into falling for that. We're not here to test Grandma's limits. If you think it's iffy, it probably is...
Just so we are clear-
What kind of language is cool
to say to Grandma?
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four's author will probably never be invited to sing at Wrigley Field's seventh-inning stretch with lyrics like this...
I would just like to say I feel bad for butchering the song so much, but, hey, I did make it work as a haiku.
Take me out to the
ball game, take me out to the
crowd! And buy me some
Peanuts and Cracker
Jacks, oh I don't care if I
Don't ever get back
It's root for the Cubs--
if they don't win it's the same
as all other years!
(except this one)
--Elizabeth
And haiku number five gets Haiku of the Week for showing grace in defeat...
What a long Season.
An Astro fan to the end.
However, Go Cubs!
--Mike Leatherwood
