Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
October 9, 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 ponders...
For Haiku Thursday:
Synchronicity
Is there an explanation
Somewhere in these lines?
--Brien R. Givens
Haiku number two's author will flee waaaaaay too far if she runs to another country to avoid one state's new governor...
Schwarzenegger won?
I'm moving to Canada.
This was just too much.
Or even New York-
It should be easy, now, to
Find a less weird place.
--Hannah Orlove
Haiku number three is correct, but we doubt the California election board will see things the same way...
Oh, recount! Recount!
Any cartoon is better
Than the Gov'nator
--Elizabeth
Haiku number four makes us wonder, will his reelection theme be "I'll be back?"...
Total Recall. The
Results give California -
The Governator.
God help us all...
--Christina
Haiku number five's author picks an unfortunate week to flaunt being a Texan. We note with amusement that Texans apparently can't correctly decide if haikus are 5-7-5 or 7-5-7, much like they can't correctly decide which quarterback should start. And yes, we know this is unfair to Mike, but then, he can always take the defense that he went to another Texas school. You know, one that isn't about to lose its fourth in a row...
Terminator? Governor?
He is not Reagan.
Sign of the Apocalypse?
Shutting eyes in disbelief,
Pray to the Maker;
Thankful to be a Texan!
--Mike Leatherwood
Haiku number six gets Haiku of the Week for being yet another reminder that we here at Team Rockwood actually like sucking up. Almost as much as we like beating the Longhorns, again, and again, and...
First off, I am a long-time OU fan. I'm not like, "Woo hoo! Oklahoma is #1, so I'm a fan," and I'm not trying to suck up. I hopped on the OU bandwagon with the hiring of Stoops. So...go Sooners!
The Buccaneers lost.
So did Florida and Red's.
Can the Sooners win?
--The Raven's Mirror
