 Exploring the world of comic strips
through vague Japanese poetry.
June 26, 2008
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 is off to find out exactly
which seven words those were...
Even if Carlin was before my time, he was an amazing
comedian.
One, two, three, four, five...
Coming up short from seven.
And now to Google!
--Donny
Haiku
number two gets Haiku of
the
Week, but worries too much. There will be others...
George Carlin is dead
The champion of free speech
Who will guide us now?
--Jane Rohan
