Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
December 9, 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 wasn't at all thrilled with the length of the answers in the Rockwood Mailbag (third letter)...
Need a sleeping aid?
The longest response ever
can help, no offense.
Default, not my fault.
An all Sarcasmo Thursday,
makes for a quick read.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two makes us recall a friend from college who took seven years to graduate...
Oh, how I hate finals week. You stay up late studying and then...
Wake up leisurely
Rain drizzles on the housetops
Sh**! Slept through exam!
--Julie
Haiku number three makes us respond that it depends on the other customers...
Man Christmas shopping
Gets stuck in lingerie store
Worse places to be?
--John
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week because we like the concept of gravity-free sports...
Wednesday's strip made me think:
Electric Football!
Along with some air hockey
Makes for a great bar.
Zero-G game room
Is the other station need.
Even Kepler dunks.
--Greg
