The following haiku, which "deconstruct" Microsoft Windows, have been whipping around the Web for a while.
Your mission: write a haiku based on today's technology: computers, the WWW, cell phones, remote controls, DVD, HDTV, robotics, IMAX, hydroponics, anything techie at all. Stay true to the craft of Haiku: -- A poem of three lines -- Line one: 5 syllables -- Line two: 7 syllables -- Line three: 5 syllables Here are the samples: First snow, then silence. This thousand dollar screen dies so beautifully. Windows NT crashed. I am the blue screen of death. No one hears your screams. With searching comes loss and the presence of absence: "My Novel" not found. The Tao that is seen is not the true Tao until you bring fresh toner. |
WINDOWS, too soon the
Format of the world--as if Square wheels conquered first. |
My venerable
abacus! Another damn crash of fenestra! [This message has been edited by Nigel Holt (edited May 04, 2001).] |

Golden disk of song,
sounds from the past - my breath caught: a scratch made you skip. Forward and rewind tape slides, pulls, one day will break; DVD instead. Back, Forward Stop, Refresh, Home or Search; Favorites, then Print. ------------------ Just one person's opinion. Davida Chazan |
Davida beat me to the punch, sort of. I think the keyboard offers an even more rigorous and grimmer version of refridgerator poetry.
End shift. Enter home. Insert Tab. Delete control. Escape help. End. End. Quote:

Okay, I have poems about computers, I spent almost 7 years in the Navy working on all sorts --- from car sized mainframes to mini-mini --- nothing was finer than to pass a 12 hour midwatch writing a few poems about those monsters! So, this was fun. http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtml/smile.gif

I have read many of the haikus posted here. Although, not all of them are in the traditional form, they are good and very creative...I have enjoyed reading them..
