 Exploring the world of comic strips
through vague Japanese poetry.

- 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 pushes the limits of syllable
counting. Can a "W" just be one syllable? We'll let it slide...
At Moscone West
Waiting for the Phil-note speech.
W-W-D-C rocks!
--Bobby
Haiku number two is questioning the
stimulus...
Too much debt burden!
How can the solution be
To take out more loans?
Oh, what fools believe.
An economy can not
be credit driven.
Failed stimulus plan?
Austrian Economics
Proven right again.
--yorik
Haiku number three makes us wonder if those
were really the jobs Obama wanted to save...
Jobs saved by B.O.
Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck
Just to name a few.
Since I'm still working,
I guess he saved my job too.
That's some fuzzy math.
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number four gets Haiku of
the
Week for looking forward to our future content-delivery system...
Direct-to-my-brain
An efficient way to get
My next Rockwood fix.
--Joe Wright
