- 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 laments perpetual losers...
Oh the poor Cubs, sigh
They lost it again themselves
Didn't need "The Fan".
Seems the poor Red Sox
Cannot put it together
They're out of it too :(
--Larry C.
Haiku number two corrects last week's haiku...
Last week was my fault.
What I should have said was this:
Cowboys are their hope?
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three robs from the Brits...
I thought I'd share this one I heard on the BBC 7's internet stream - Classic Brit humor...
To express yourself,
In seventeen syllables
Is very diffic
--Brian Layman
Haiku number four makes Haiku Thursday multi-lingual...
Ich bin so müde
Bitte, gibt mir Provigil
Arnold wird ein Traum
--Mixshamus
But haiku number five gets Haiku of the Week for knowing what day it is...
This was submitted the day before Mole Day, but will be up for everyone to see on that illustrious holiday.
Mole Day is today.
Will it be forgotten? Yeah.
Oh well, c'est la vie.
--Hannah Orlove
