Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
June 10, 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 an apology for missing last week...
Short week plus sickness
Equals missed haiku for me.
At least there was one . . .
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two...sigh...Mom, we thought we told you to stop writing...
Time to speculate.
The strip will be late because . . .
Brian's getting hitched.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three is already making plans for 2012...
Here's another Day After Tomorrow haiku:
As the Sun came up
Venus made a spot on it
but it went away.
I live on a hill
The viewing was very good
It rose from the haze.
In about eight years
Hawaii would be so fine
to see the whole thing.
--Larry C.
Finally, haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week for not only being persistent, but for giving us the chance to plug the real reason...
No wedding Brian?
What in the world could it be?
Tonsillectomy?
--Sarcasmo
