Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
May 3, 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 seems to prefer travel over work...
Jaunt in Italy,
Or working in St. Louis.
Oh, to be Brian.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number two found that independent research is sometimes better...
Vegas here we come,
gross hotel we are stuck with,
four star it is not
Looked ahead we did,
rates on the hotel's website,
were less than priceline
Priceline made a joke,
Priceline should go up in smoke,
Priceline is on coke.
--K.Peterson
Haiku number three hints that missing baggage might not be the worst travel experience...
The joys of travel
lost luggage and terrorists
Whew! Glad to be home
--Jane Rohan
Haiku number four is Haiku of the Week reminds us that any time your baggage gets there with you is a time to be thankful...
AA Lost your bags?
My bags made the trip with me . . .
This time; knock on wood.
--Sarcasmo
