Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
December 23, 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 can't quite get it together...
Writing haiku is--
Saying something about Rock--
Darn it I'm out of--
--Ree
Haiku number two tries too hard. Haikus need not rhyme...
It's Haiku Thursday.
Trying to make up a rhyme
I'm stuck on line 3.
--Margaret
Haiku number three reminds us, have you bought one yet? It's never too late...
It's Christmas Eve Eve.
If CASH comes in my stocking,
I will buy 05.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week for challenging us to go to the moon. We're not going, but we like the suggestion...
Tranquility Base.
Or what could have been. Save for,
Rockwood's lack of kin
Dusty ball of rock,
Where only heroes set foot.
'Rocks' kindred spirits.
Seekers of knowledge
Lusting for experience
Luna awaits thee
Resting in orbit,
Waiting for those untimid.
To share Rockwood's life.
I dare thee to go,
Where Aldren has tread upon,
Cowards, don't apply
--N'Daa Po
