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 reflects on Brian's fortune, although, to be fair, that monitor belongs to his workplace, not to him. He just gets to use it...
Last minute entry.
Allows for timely topics.
Nice new monitor.
Do you have to brag?
New house, big screen, and nice car.
God Bless the U.S.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two gets Haiku of the Week for reminding us that death and taxes aren't just a certainty in the United States, but everywhere else, too...
Ah, yes, income tax time! The one time of the year when Canadians get to wait longer than our cousins to the south to pay the "man".
Taxes due? Not here
Until the end of April!
It still costs us, though.
--Christopher Gleeson
