Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
January 13, 2005
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's author rubs it in a little...
I won't pile on top.
At least you got to be there.
Hear Miami's nice.
--Sarcasmo
...but then consoles us with haiku number two...
Sooners beat Huskies-
Off the grass onto hardwood.
March Madness is near.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three makes us long for the days when receivers scoring touchdowns just did a little dance...
Sooners, boo, hoo, hoo.
Vikings, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah,
except for mooner.
--Me
Haiku number four thinks Team Rockwood might be a jinx...
Orange Bowl party
Disappointed Sooner fans
Scream at the TV!
Two years in a row
Brian - Championship jinx?
Next time, just stay home.
-- The Jedi
Haiku number five gets Haiku of the Week for calling us on our pre-game smacktalk about kicking some Trojan butt. Hey, if we're going to dish it out, we'd better be able to take it...
Haiku Thursday entry:
(You're not going to like this, but I can't resist. Sorry.)
Orange Bowl - good grief!
Thirty-six-point deficit
Trojan butt unkicked.
-David C.
