Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
August 19, 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 has things slightly backwards...
rockwood's new baby
pretty wife sal insists on
calling him woodrock
--john tiong chunghoo
Haiku number two gets the Haiku of the Week for picking the correct theme of the week...
Olympic Haikus
Lots of events to choose from,
I'll take volleyball.
Beach volleyball rocks.
Pretty girls in bikinis
Running and jumping.
--Sarcasmo
