Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
December 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 hopes to get well for Christmas...
Cough, sneeze, hack, snort... yuck!
This flu season really sucks.
I can't wait for spring.
--Donny
Haiku number two is dreaming of a white Christmas...
More snow in Utah
Just in time for Christmas-yay!
still looks pretty cool
--Anonymous
Haiku number three gets Haiku of the Week even though, technically, the syllables are incorrect. But then, how would an ordinary person know that lutefisk isn't pronounced LOOT-fisk, but instead LOOT-uh-fisk...
LOL What a funny mailbag! Your 'toon based terrorism deserves a haiku!
(Note: The second verse assumes the two syllable Western PA pronunciation of Bachlor)
It's Terrorism,
Scandinavian Lutefisk,
You sick, sick sicko!
Still, Sven and Ole,
Norwegian Bachelor Farmers,
Just love their Lutefisk!
--Brian #3
PS: I saw this instruction for eating Lutefisk "If you can taste the difference between caviar on a cracker and ketchup on a Kit-Kat while blindfolded, you have not had enough [alcohol] to be ready for lutefisk. Return to step one." (caution: some adult language here)
