Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

November 29, 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.

1. 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!

2. 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!

Hope you have a Happy Haiku Thanksgiving:

Cold Weather Coming
Colored Leaves on and off Trees
Happy Thanksgiving

--Michael

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
From the mall I come

Spending all the way
Now my bank accounts all drained
VISA is maxed out.

I'll need a home loan
Just to get this Christmas list
cheked off. I'm so broke

--Bad Panda

Shopping season starts.
Snow falls after the leaves do.
Christmas approaches.

--Michael

I love Thanksgiving.
Friends, family and football,
But mostly the food.

--Tony J. Moyer
