Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
August 5, 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 probably best explains our ignorance regarding last week's first haiku...
re: two moons
rockwood doesn't see
reflection on the water
makes one into two
--holly
Haiku number two does a good job explaining our ignorance, too, but came in after the first haiku...
Two big yellow moons.
One's real, One is reflected.
More Monty Python.
My favorite "Grail" quotes . . .
"There are those who call me . . . TIM!"
"Message for you sir."
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three finds us boring. Guilty!...
A cryptic clue here -
"Two rely on your input"
Team Rockwood amount?
Or, just possibly
Haiku Thursday and Mailbag
But that is boring.
--Greg
And haiku number four gets the Haiku of the Week for not only submitting some poetic verse this week, but for getting everyone talking about his stuff last week...
in the new washroom
teaching grandchild to brush teeth
old toothless granny
mom red with fury
the mirror and the child's face
red with her lipstick
--john tiong chunghoo
