Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
September 22, 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 felt a little empty after last week, but hey...a win's a win...
bad panda's haiku
acheived both first and second
hollow victory
--bad panda
Haiku number two tells us how to avoid last week's predictable victory...
Save Haiku Thursday!
Don't be shy, write in right now;
You'll feel good inside!
--TheShked
Haiku number three bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda. S-O-D-A, soda...
Mikki will know this.
A "Weird" Al favorite of mine.
To the old Kinks tune
Yeah, a diff'rent song,
but funny nevertheless.
Yoda Tears it up!
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four makes us long for the days when Calvin was on the funny pages and not on pickup truck back windows...
Been skimming through my Calvin and Hobbes treasuries. Calvin's got excellent and mixed reactions to school and the fall season starting.
Ode to Calvin
Lovely day outside
Yet stuck in classroom all day
Calvin panics, runs
Teacher stops him, scolds
Next time take some deep breaths, chill
And get some water
Days getting colder?
Bugs dying by the truckloads!
Good riddance to 'em!
--Mikki
Haiku number five makes us wonder, does Tommy Lee haiku?...
A Motley Crew of Season Changing Haikus
Last breath of summer
The season puts up a fight
Temps spike in 80s
Bonfires and smores
Canoes, hikes, caving and fish
One last camping trip
As summer fades fall
Draws near chilling the air we
Break out the sweaters
Sunrise much later
Dayshift complains of waking
Up in the darkness
School in full force now
Homework, exams, professors
Who will make the grade?
Sun sets earlier
Curfews move up, anger kids
Wanting to stay up
Wind blown fallen leaves
Swirl in the field that we toss
The old pigskin in
Pretty changing leaves
A spectrum of warm earth tones
Nature's fashion show
--A. Nonymous
Haiku number six gets into the pirate spirit...
UNlimitless, Leif?
Backhanded dig, or error?
Mutiny, sez I.
--Sarcasmo the Cynical Swashbuckler
But haiku number seven be Haiku of the Week, because even the author's name be jaunty! Arrrr...
Dirty Dogs Be Ye
Who won't buy a calendar
Know what day it be?
--Arrrrthur
