- 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!
Oh, haiku number one, we stand on guard for thee...
Birth of a Nation
This day in '67
True North, Strong and Free
--Randy
Haiku number two reluctantly accepts...
no, not really, no
thank you, but no, really, no
all right, that's enough
--imbo
Haiku number three might want to stop adding methane to the fire...
the winds were strong in
the shorts of my ancestors
as they are in mine
my job is like hell
with fire and with brimstone
time for a new one
--Kevin Boots
Haiku number four tries for a little bit of everything...
Inspiration came
Hopefully its not too late
Wrote in nick of time.
Very much like game
Beltran will be our saviour
Astros over Cubs.
As for Spiderman
Did not see the first movie
Am I a bad man?
A comic movie
Most are like the Shadow flic
Painfully awful.
Cassini to slow
Saturn's investigation
Voyager part deux?
Saddam turned over
Is this any mystery
an OJ part deux?
Your Leg will improve
Thank you for your effort here
Get well soon Lundmark!
--Mike Leatherwood
Haiku number five is giving us a headache trying to read it out loud...
Doc Clock walks and talks
Doc Clocks talks ticks and tick-tocks
Walk that walk, Doc Clock!
Now... Say that three times fast!
And in case you're really short on haiku, here's a somewhat disturbing bonus round:
Doc Clock times his walks!
Doc Clock's now fit as an ox!
"You're a Fox" Doc Clock!
--Brian Layman
Haiku number six could be right on both counts...
I think that "Gone With the Wind" holds this title, with inflation factored in...
Spider-Man 2 out.
Possible highest-grossing
Movie of all time.
--Syn
Haiku number seven illustrates why sometimes it sucks to be a superhero...
Could Michael Moore help this dude?
Spiderman movie.
Peter Parker has rough time.
Also fights Doc Ock.
Sad Peter Parker.
Movie money not for him.
Web only traps flies.
--NYMike
Haiku number eight hits the nail on the head. You try getting up to turn off the alarm with a bum knee...
Wednesday's strip reads more like a diary entry than a comic strip. I am guessing you had a bad experience recently with those clocks.
Wake up Team Rockwood.
Alarm clocks are our best friends.
(I hate mornings, too.)
--Leif
Finally, haiku number nine gets Haiku of the Week because we've seen Spider-Man 2, and all we can say is "hot" is an understatement. ROWWRR!!...
Have not seen it yet
Movies are way too pricey
But I'll go because...
Spider-Man is rad
Dr. Octopus is mad.
Mary Jane is hot.
--Bad Panda
