Rick Rockwell's poetic soul

Rick Rockwell's still milking it.

The man who helped make Darva Conger famous is apparently exploring his literary side, and if the haiku he's contributed to literary webzine La Petite Zine is any indication, it's not likely to do anything to solidify his multimillionaire status.

His masterpiece? "love on television/not as strange as concept seems/but Darva present." (Yes, there's an extra syllable there, but, hey, I'm not gonna mention it and let the air out of the guy's metaphorical tires.)

The webzine's editor in chief, Daniel Nester, says he suspects that Darva represents a season, a traditional motif in the Japanese poetic form, "probably a bitter winter." Nester also admits he was thrilled to receive a submission "from a real famous person."

I can't wait for the zine's issue, in which Susan from "Survivor" eviscerates Kelly the rat in limerick form!

LPZ EDITOR'S NOTE: Susan has been contacted, and we are waiting for her response.
