Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 22, 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 sounds like a crime drama...
the old fugitive
hiding behind the paper
splashed with his picture

Haiku number two tries, painfully, to expand Haiku Thursday into other forms of poetry...
Since haiku in its true form should elicit a specific emotion and I've got enough specific emotion to spare today, here's a happy, happy haiku...
First, the transmission.
Now, it's a blown head gasket.
Makes torn ribs seem fun.
(And two optional lines to change it from a haiku into a tanka)
Now, I wonder what comes next.
Perhaps a stick in the eye?
In any case, thanks team for the continued work on the comic. Your work is unique and appreciated! And it's good to smile now and then. Besides where else would I find Asimov references in comics?
--Brian #3
Haiku number three makes us wonder, if you can't tell anyone, how does it grow in the first place?...
Robot fight club? Sweet.
No tapping out in this one.
No shirt, no shoes. So?
Just two to a fight,
They last as long as they can.
First night? Have to fight.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four brings us up to date on current events...
Maybe I can win Haiku of the Week by default, too. Here's my random thoughts for the this week.
Classified papers,
Sandy Berger stuffs his pants.
Clinton's right hand man.
Summer Blockbuster.
I, Robot, sci fi classic.
Makes Wil Smith richer.
--leif
Haiku number five gets the Haiku of the Week for probing the mystery, but we'll never tell...
References to
"we" in mail answers - many
in Team Rockwood's ranks?
--Randy
