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.
