- 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 has a morning pattern established...
start of each new day
beating rockwood to the news
pet dog named bobby
--john tiong chunghoo
Haiku number two reads our ALT tags and does the math...
This one is easy.
Zero - Bring on more like that.
No Physics for me.
--Sarcasmo
While haiku number three is content just to read the ALT tags...
Syndication? Bah!
Newsprint comic format lacks
ALT-tag joke support!
-- The Jedi
Haiku number four covers many topics...
Here is my Haiku submission:
This land is your land
Satire of Kerry and Bush.
Would a Guthrie sue?
Cute Banana Phone.
Can cats in Berets sing well?
I don't know, do you?
Gnostics are knowing.
Agnostics are not knowing.
Do we know? Lord knows.
--Michael and Grace
Haiku number five knows quality when it sees it...
Here is my Haiku, solo:
Do you like Haikus?
They are very fun to do.
I much like Haikus.
Comics are funny.
Rockwood comics are the best.
Do you think so too?
Movies are fun too.
Like Cheaper by the Dozen.
I much like Haikus.
--Grace - Age 11
And haiku number six gets the Haiku of the Week because we thought a certain Coen Brothers movie was good even when nobody else did...
Haiku sponsored by
Letter L and number 3.
You know, for the kids!
(Hudsucker Proxy?
Or a production of the
C.T.W.?)
--Christina Tappan
