Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
October 12, 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 points out the obvious truth: without audience participation, the day truly is sad...
Nobody writes in.
What a sad world we live in,
Haikus make it spin.
So Write in people!
Before Brian stops it all,
Oh what a sad day.
--Anthony
Haiku number two is the middle of the flood, but it's certainly not lost...
Calm before the storm.
Flood gates open after dearth.
Haiku lost in crowd.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week because it references our side project, HD in OKC, and we're going to keep plugging it until we get results...
No Tuesday Mailbag?
We're all busy watching "Lost"
With HD or not.
--Christina
