Happy Poet's Day! This may seem a little off-the-wall, but we see poetry a lot on GoComics, our comic characters never afraid to embrace their poetic side! Inspired by their funny rhymes and in celebration of today, I've decided to release my own inner-poet, in a hilarious attempt at haiku:

If you haven't heard,

Today (August 21)

Celebrates poets!

You might be thinking"...

Poetry and comics, what?

But bear with me here.

Check out Haiku Ewe,

Where sheep write pun-filled haiku,

And ewe wool crack up.

Haiku Ewe by Allison Garwood

Calvin writes poems

That Hobbes never finds funny,

But you surely will.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

The daily struggle

Provides much inspiration,

Just look at Luann. 

Luann Againn by Greg Evans

Big Nate loves haiku,

A lot more than Brazil nuts,

But, who doesn't, right?

Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce

Just remember this,

They don't always have to rhyme.

Sometimes, they shouldn't "...

The Duplex by Glenn McCoy

Feeling poetic?

Then get to celebrating!

What "÷cha waiting for?

Happy Poet's Day, comic fans!
