Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
May 4, 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 was surprised by pick number one...
I watched the Draft so
I could see who went out first
Bush got robbed I think.
--Anthony
Haiku number two talks about the midwestern weather...
tornado alley
watches and spring warnings scare
the visitors, whee!
--linda neuberger
Haiku number three questions The Chin's qualifications...
Ben Affleck as Kirk?
Say it ain't so! Isn't the
series dead enough?
But seriously,
Ben's a great actor like in...
Uh, something I'm sure.
(Though I did like the "Sum of All Fears" and "Paycheck" despite the fact he was in them.)
--Mikki
But haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week because it reminds us that there is definitely one place where Ben came out a winner...
Gigli: Affleck's shame.
Garner: Affleck's pride and joy.
Affleck: 1 - Me: none
--Sarcasmo
