Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
December 7, 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 got fed up during the snowstorm...
Please learn how to drive!
Bad weather is not that hard
to drive safely in.
Slamming on breaks, bad.
Applying some make up, Worse.
Get in my way, Worst
So I say again,
Emphasizing the main point,
PLEASE LEARN HOW TO DRIVE!
--Anthony
Haiku number two's answer? It doesn't exist...
Winter temps are here.
Frostbitten extremities.
Where's Global Warming?
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three makes us wonder if the ISS actually has some Christmastime treats...
hanging up the lights
so festive, so fun...oh no
one dud spoils all
celebrating the
holidays in space - is the
freeze dried eggnog good?
--Mikki
Haiku number four gets Haiku of the Week for correctly predicting a thirty-point OU victory...
Stupid BCS
Only it makes the Rose Bowl
So disappointing
At least, no blowout
OU, LSU, Buckeyes
Each win by thirty
Hail to the victors
After last year's 7-5
I'll take the roses.
Contradict myself?
Well, yes. But, it is better
Than pointless anger
--Greg
