Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
March 1, 2007
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 starts us on a sad note...
(thought of this while driving back home from work tonight...Nelly Furtado just wasnt cutting it)
My mom passed away
And the Lord shattered my heart.
Family healed me.
--K. Peterson
Haiku number two gets Haiku of the Week for expressing another form of loss...
We lost DSL
When, oh when will it return?
No Rockwood? That sucks!
--Jane Rohan
