- 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 speaks the truth...
Goodbye to Grandpa.
Hello to the oh Seven.
Little ones perhaps?
No this isn't mom.
But, I'm married, so I know.
Rings beget questions.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two makes us long for our robot maid...
Two Thousand Seven?
Amazing! Have one question--
Where's my flying car?
--Mikki
Haiku number three is a bit repetitive...
Go Colts! Go Colts! Go
Colts! Go Colts! Go Colts! Go Colts!
Let this be the year!
--Mikki
Haiku number four's first line will always bring a smile to our faces...
Hussein hanged for crimes,
Then court drops genocide charge--
The world makes no sense
--Mikki
Haiku number five makes us curious, will they arrest Miss Jackson if she's nasty?...
Estrada as cop
easy to imagine but
LaToya Jackson?
--Mikki
Haiku number six hopes to keep some resolutions...
New Year Hopes and Dreams
Hopefully will last longer
than last years 10 days.
--Anthony
Haiku number seven is digging out...
More snow in Utah
covering up everything
enough already!
--Jane Rohan
Haiku number honors a noodle-maker...
Haiku for Momofuku Ando
Oh ramen noodles
When the winter winds blow cold
You warm us, cheaply
--Anonymous
Haiku number nine gets Haiku of the Week and can be answered simply. Yes. Yes it is...
A new calendar!
Finally I can tell you
What day today is.
Men want to be me,
Women want to be with me.
All because of this.
Hey, kids of today!
Want to be hip and with it?
Buy a calendar!
And you, working stiffs!
Boss always bringing you down?
This will bring you up!
So, now I can ask
Is haiku of the week mine,
Just for shameless plugs?
--Greg
