Computer Haiku

[Vestal Blue]

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

The Tao that is seen
is not the true Tao until
you bring fresh toner.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the blue screen of death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Serious error. All
shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen
dies so beautifully.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire;
the network is down.

*Snifff* That's so beautiful, man. I can relate all too well. Apparently getting a new monitor altered my puter's basic personality as well, not to mention certain functions.

Seriously, I liked it. Did you write these yourself?

[Vestal Blue]

Nope. I'd love to claim authorship, but I culled them from various sources.

Enjoy.

I'm too lazy to search for the H.M. thread I did (wherein I challenged myself to write haiku on whatever subjects the teeming millions supplied - some of the subjects included pantyhose, wombats, and even erectile dysfunction), but someone feel free to post a link.

Here are some of the computer haiku I've written (and yes, they are all originals of mine).

The downloading file
Moves as slow as autumn leaves.
I want DSL.

Bright as summer sun,
Blazing laser reads data:
My CD-ROM drive.

Screen saver: “Raleigh.”
A landscape photo of mine.
Science shows nature.

"Fifteen inches"? Hah!
Nine-inch viewing area.
My monitor sucks.

Hey, Microsoft Word!
I don't need help; I'm gonna
Kill that paper clip!

Mac users all say,
"Macs rule, PCs drool. Why? Uh...
They just do, okay?"

Windows makes me mad.
I'd switch to Linux, but I'm
Afraid of penguins.

Net porn at work: don't!
You CAN'T close the windows - argh!
More keep popping up!

all bow down before the Haiku Master.

VB, honourable Grasshopper, bows to the master.

How 'bout a haiku about me and my biplane?
