Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
April 20, 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!
Change?
Us?
Haiku
Number one
Wants to try new forms.
We'll ponder it for the future...
I
think
that Fibs
are cooler
and way geekier
than Japanese hiakus, don't you?
Not sure what I'm talking about? Check it out, man!

Haiku number two is from a military man. We can only hope it starts out on the right foot...
One two three four five
Six seven eight nine ten e-
leven twelve thirteen
--Ted
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week because we're trying to make amends...
Some folks are sensitive about their name, especially if they were made fun of as kids. (But now when people break into Toni Basil's "Mickey" I've stopped telling them the song is 1)about a guy and 2)annoys me and just start singing with them!)
Moses? A fine name!
Strong, leader-like, hopefully
great sense of humor....
--Mikki
