Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
June 8, 2006

- 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 proves that punctuality is important...
Dude, the one time Team Rockwood posts early I miss the haiku deadline. Well, here's the Memorial day stuff I wrote anyway. A haiku of thanks to those who bravely, courageously and selflessly devote themselves to public service and the noble idea that we cherish called freedom.
to our veterans:
may God grant you peace for your
defense of freedom
the patriot's blood
upon which our country stands
let us not forget
those who live and die
so you and i can be free
are worthy heroes
--Mikki
Haiku number two brings us a year full of joyful air...
joy is in the air
though delayed a year for the
Celebration IV
--Mikki
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week for best fiction writing...
Delayed yet again.
Is Brian courting coeds,
Instead of posting?
--Sarcasmo
