Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

- 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 asks questions we cannot answer, but if she finds the answer, she should let us know so we can collect, too...
My muse is obviously hungry.
Love greasy Big Macs
Can feel arteries clogging
With every morsel.
So where do I collect my $5?
--Michelle
Haiku number two does the McMath...
A story problem:
Big mac plus big mac equals
From 2 to 10 bucks.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three wins Haiku of the Week for combining engineers, calculus, and poetry...
It's Poetry Month
Haikus are the highest form
I'm in the spirit
Poems are "artsy"?
Structured poetry is good
For the engineer
Using calculus
Counting to five, seven, five
Is more exciting
--Greg
