- 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 is for all of you instant messengers out there...
HaHaHaHaHa!
R-O-F-L L-O-L
HaHaHaHaHa!
--Mixshamus
Was haiku number two impressed with Revolutions? The answer should be obvious...
"Leave chance for sequel"
Said the greedy Wachowskis
Where was the kung fu?
--Dr. Zira
Haiku number three thinks Team Rockwood is going round in circles...
Rockwood running late.
Brian fills in for Bill Keane?
Family Rockwood.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four doubts Brian's navigating skills...
Brian drove on I-35 for 13 hours of actual driving time on Sunday. Knowing that he ended up in Norman, Oklahoma, and given that his average speed was 62 mph, determine:
a) What major city was his starting point??
Wichita was start
Norman is a three hour tour
Brian just got lost
--dale
Haiku number five perfectly describes Brian's return trip...
It's a long way home
I-35 not so good
Brian needs to sleep
--Larry C
And haiku number six gets Haiku of the Week for not only answering the story problem correctly, but doing so in the correct number of syllables...
Mail not updated?
It could be at any time
Best switch to haiku
a) Thirteen hours times
Six-two miles per hour
Eight-oh-six miles
Map measuring wheel
Go south, Mexico, no good
St. Paul was the start!
b) Eight-oh-six over
One-five-six-eight-point-three-eight
Fifty-one percent
c) Well, strip was not done
When I finished my homework
For my Tuesday class
I'm a slacker too
Two-thirty Tuesday morning
Update? No. Odds? Nil.
--Greg
