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!
Wednesday's strip brought out the Misty tendencies of haiku number one's author...
For Haiku Thursday, and written rather quickly on "company time":
Politics be damned
An MST3K fan
Is OK by me
--Randy
Haiku number two's author let work get in the way of art...
BLAST! Too much darn work.
Made me miss Haiku Thursday.
There's always next week.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three hails the return of two fringe characters...
Look! The newt returns!
I'll read the reruns with him
And Tangent Man, too.
--Elizabeth
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week because it strikes the perfect tone...
A favourite of mine
When Tangent Man appears he...
Haiku makes me smile
--Tim Wong
