Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
May 27, 2004
The content on this page is solely created by you, the viewers, so if you want to see more, you'll have to contribute something yourself.
- 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 getting ready for summer...
New York, Schmew York - bah.
As long as Nashville is safe,
Freeze or crush away.
The weather warms up.
The lake is calling to me.
The boat needs repairs.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two celebrates the java buzz...
I am exhausted
But I get Starbuck's coffee
I am awake now
Long three days volunteering at a pastor's conference, and I'm absolutely beat. But hey, today's the last day, and my mom's getting me Starbuck's. And that's what makes it all worthwhile.
--Ryan
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for summing up our feelings exactly...
I may see it, but I hate supporting something that so many people will be deceived to actually believe that the scenario is possible.
Some messed-up science
In Day After Tomorrow
Still, seems pretty fun
