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 makes an interesting artistic statement, though we have to point out that 5-7-5 upside-down is still 5-7-5...
For Haiku Thursday:
About last weeks words,
The World has turned upside-down
After Arnold's Win.
Should haiku be served
as a Seven-five-seven
Only in Texas?
--Mike Leatherwood
Haiku number two doesn't know about the newt...
Okay, you've really got me guessing about the snake in Friday's first frame, so I'll have to write the question to get the answer...I hope.
B.C. snake hiding.
What is he doing down there?
Waiting for the "Smash!"?
--Larry C.
Haiku number three has an obvious answer: Sooners win equals cheer!...
Gators, Sooners won.
Buccaneers beat Redskins, so
Do I cheer or cry?
--The Raven's Mirror
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week for using poooooooor Texas correctly, even if it located the NFL Texans in the incorrect city...
Poor Texans indeed.
Sooners and Titans get wins.
Dallas is their hope?
--Sarcasmo
