Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
August 10, 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 longs for the days of dead guys who are the life of the party...
Without McCarthy
and Silverman Weekend at
Castro's will bomb big
For a movie that
had really only one joke
the first weekend rocked
--Mikki
Haiku number two is watching the shores for boats...
Castro's still kicking,
Miami's disappointed,
Coast Guard is thankful.
--Tony J. Moyer
Haiku number three tackles the topics of the week...
Weekend at Castro's
Worker's Paradise rejoice!
From a safe distance.
Input requested.
Input received as puzzle.
That is your answer.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week for explaining the puzzle but, to be fair to us, the puzzle is wrong. If we ask for "your input" the puzzle should read "p-your-ut," i.e. "your" in "put"...
p - in - ut, Brian.
You have asked for our "input".
Do you get it now?
--Christina
