 Exploring the world of comic strips
through vague Japanese poetry.
June 25, 2009
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 from an overseas US
soldier, so really, isn't being slow a good thing?...
Need inspiration
It has been a slow week here
Not much going on
--Joe Wright
Haiku number two is about a clash of the
zillionaires...
Skip
taunting Buffett
Brother can ya spare a dime?
How 'bout a billion?
--Sarcasmo
Haiku number three gets Haiku of
the
Week for being factually correct even though a) Jobs' veganism is part
of
what
makes that strip funny and b) whoever said that an "iLiver" was made
of meat?...
Monday
strip error:
Jobs would never eat liver.
He's a vegan, dude.
--Bobby
