 Exploring the world of comic strips
through vague Japanese poetry.
February 4, 2010
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 made it before deadline
only because our web provider did an email update on Wednesday and we couldn't
get to our email until Thursday...
Haiku Thursday late?
This must be my lucky day!
So is my haiku.
--Bobby
Haiku number two is funny so we'll include
it, even if it slightly miscounted syllables on the last line...
Haiku-hijack from here...
SNOWklahoma Whoa!
piles of sleet, beneath your feet
need more salt & sand!
Sure is pretty/slick,
great for sleds and slipping-splat!
SNOWklahoma, SNOW-K!
--katie
Haiku number three gets Haiku of
the Week for getting the reference in the last
panel...
"Die Hard" and Rockwood?
What a great combination
Laughed my fool head off
--Jane
Want to see last week's Haiku Thursday? Go
