Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

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!

Wow! Forty years since
Neil Armstrong made history

Four days at his desk?
He must be a contractor.
Those guys just don't rest.
