Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
March 30, 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 gives some extra credit points...
Bad Panda fails test
But wait--a good argument
for a passing grade
--Mikki
Haiku number two talks all about wuv, twue wuv...
She said/He said
"Farm boy, polish my
horse's saddle. I want to
see my face shining
in it by morning"
His reply "As you wish" is
Really "I love you"
--Mikki
Is haiku number three missing work? Well, it wouldn't exactly say it's missing it, Bob...
Unemployed today
Now GM did mass lay-offs
Some rough times ahead
Yet spring is now here.
In Northwest that's not so clear.
Cold rains forecasts fear.
--Bad Panda
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week for liking satire and basketball, and odd combination...
New name for your strip:
You should call it "Lampoondocks"
Foxtrot followed suit.
Bracket in shambles,
I hear, "Better luck next year."
Morrison doesn't.
--Sarcasmo
