Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
July 27, 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 isn't impressed with our Seinfeldian prose ...
blah blah blah blah blah
team rockwood with writer's block?
blah blah blah blah blah
--Mikki
Haiku number two foresees the end of the world...
Hell is in Haifa
Bombs falling like summer rains
World War Three begins.
Beruit is in tears
Girls cry over lost parents.
World War Three begins.
Baghdad in ruins
One hundred dead ev'ry day.
World War Three begins.
Iran is angry
A right to nukes they have claimed.
World War Three begins.
Climate is hotter
Oil supply is getting short
World War Three begins.
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week because it made us laugh out loud...
The Flame War begins!
France valiantly surrenders.
The Flame War is done.
--Sarcasmo
