 Exploring the world of comic strips

- 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 reminds us that audience participation can't be a one man show...
No Haiku Thursday?
Sarcasmo on Vacation
Who is
his backup?
--Michael
Haiku
number two shows us the long-awaited return of...
Haikus are not hard.
Why am I the lone writer?
Help me out people.
Starbucks in orbit?
They've already covered Earth.
Venus and Mars next.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku
number three points out that it's a long way to the top...
"Just 3,000 more
Wins like this and you'll be a
Trillionaire like me."
Plagiarizing Skip?
No. Team Rockwood is sneaky.
Honors for the team.
--Bad Panda
Haiku
number four lets us know that not everyone is getting as much rain as Oklahoma...
Rain, Rain everywhere
We need some in the desert
Send some our way please!
--Jane Rohan
Haiku
number five is Haiku of
the
Week for stressing the importance of playing along...
Haiku of the week,
I could have won it last week.
If I only tried.
I am so upset,
Participation is key.
I want that trophy.
This week is all mine,
A three verse haiku can't lose.
Can it? I hope not.
--anthony
