Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 29, 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!
Two moons? We can only assume that haiku number one comes from Mars...
full moon festival
greeting me brightly at sea
two big yellow moons
--john tiong chunghoo
Haiku number two starts groveling before the robots now...
My own humble "Ode to Khan" (Partly because he rocks and partly so he'll spare me when he takes over.)
Khan takes over all
Subjugates station workforce
Raze earth from orbit
Kill Humans All Now
Evil knows no good grammar
Page Dr. Salla!
Nothing to stop him
Got power, access and pluck
Now to get some arms
--Mikki
Haiku number three gets the Haiku of the Week for advertising as-of-yet-non-existent T-shirts...
I'd Buy such a shirt
A Rockwood Caveman on it,
Saying, "You Squander!"
And on the Shirt Back
Telling us, "Me Here! Take Back!
Civilization!"
--Irony Liker
