 Exploring the world of comic strips
through vague Japanese poetry.
July 2, 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 isn't about who you think
it's about...
Can't believe he's gone.
What a scary messed up dude...
We'll miss Ed McMahon.
--Bobby
Haiku number two is predicting a dirty future...
Billy Mays is gone.
Who is going to sell me
the next cleaning fad?
--Joe Wright
Haiku number three gets Haiku of
the
Week for crystalizing what everyone else is thinking...
The Thrill[er] is gone
Not soon to be forgotten
New vid coming out?
What's the deal lately?
Celebs are dropping like flies.
Glad I'm not famous.
--Sarcasmo
