Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
September 21, 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 thinking big enough. If you WERE a pirate, you could talk that way all YEAR...
Avast me hearties.
Haikus be my grog of choice,
so drink up ya dogs.
Talk like a Pirate
'tis the best idea, next to
doing it all week.
--Sarcasmo (Pirate Jim the Dagger)
Haiku number two, the yolk's on you...
I be the Captain
Come follow me to the sea
Or ye be Shanghaied
To serve as pirate
Aboard the ship, Mad Sally
For Tis Gold we seek
Sing Pirates, "YO HO!"
This Haiku Pirate Shanty
and Really Bad Eggs!
--Xavier Wayfarer
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week because it best captures the true pirate spirit...
I be a Pirate
Arrr Matey, You Scurvy Dog.
Why is the Rum Gone?!
--Anthony
