Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
March 16, 2006
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 breaks out the Japanese poetry for an Irish holiday...
Be sure to wear green,
Thank Saint Patty for the snakes
Kiss the Blarney Stone.
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku... uh... limerick number two breaks out the Irish poetry for an Irish holiday...
I know, it's not a Haiku, but you picked the theme this week.
There was once a man in space,
Whose chin took up most of his face.
Many dollars did he acquire,
So, at a young age he did retire,
While letting his friends become a welfare case.
--leif
And haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for combining both forms AND including March Madness...
Man from Nantucket
Loses his bucket to Nan.
What a big let down.
March Madness looms near.
Brackets spew from the printer.
Can Memphis perform?
For St. Patty's Day
A Limerick for Thursday
Read it and enjoy:
There once was a man from Nashville
Who wanted to make some quick cash, still
He didn't know much
'bout b'ball and such
So the bracket sure tried his poor Math skill(s)
--Sarcasmo
