Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 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!
Haiku number one tells of a wet summer climate ...
despite mosquitoes
we want to go out and play
rain, please go away
but rain increases
thunder, lightning, hail join too
not very soothing
--Mikki
Haiku number two tells of a dry summer climate...
Summer's killing me.
Boiling outside, streets melting.
Global warming myth?
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku number three messes with the laws of physics when bored...
on a long space flight
mess with the space/time fabric
to fight the boredom
--Mikki
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week because we love word games...
Parcheesi gets old
Before one game is over.
Try Scrabble instead.
--Sarcasmo
