Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

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!

Olympic moment?
Surely it was Tae Kwon-Do
Oops! Must have missed it...

Now McCain's got a woman
Pretty sly trick, John

Thanks to John McCain,
Conservatives fell asleep.
Palin woke us up.
