Haiku 9

[gbaughma]

I have realized
That I have a knack for this;
Writing the Haiku
---------------------------
You asked for a page
I gave you a 404
Isn't the web great?
---------------------------
For I equals 1
While I is less than 7
Increment the I
---------------------------


Just my 2¢

I don't write Haiku
It seems such a waste of time
Who thought up Haiku?

Haiku code... Nice job!
But i say, use limericks
for run-time errors

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

If you write haiku
You must remember the rule
five then seven then five

Not even going to try, I'm not bent that way.

Refrigerator - LOL!

five, seven then five (suggestion)

But Don broke the rule
Sev-en has two syllables
Five, seven, and five

If you say it really fast it only....
Oh forget it

What's with the Haikus?
I really could not care less.
Take them all elsewhere

[gbaughma]

There once was a man from Peru
Who wanted to write a Haiku
But...

------------------------------------------
It is Christmas time.
I hope I get good presents!
My wife's good to me.

------------------------------------------
Server upgrade soon.
I have to install windows.
I hope all goes well.

------------------------------------------
Friday will be nuts.
The terminal server is
being rebuilt then.

From automotive:

Objects in mirror
Are closer than they appear,
So back off, jack-ass.

Have fun.

Never wrote Haiku
Maybe I will commence now
Early results not great

An alert I wrote a while back in VBA:

I don't think anyone has seen it yet.

Apparently 5-7-5 is much more difficult in Japanese than in English, so there are some who instead follow a 3-5-3 scheme in English.

Three, five, three
Is much harder than
Five, sev'n, five

But from what I've seen
Harder things tend to be hard
So I prefer five, sev'n, five

Not to take anything away from Jebenson as I laughed out loud when I originally read his entry but apparently there are T-Shirts with that exact Haiku. Others end with hippopotamus. A quick google search confirmed this. Still funny though.

[jebenson]

That one is not mine
I thought everyone knew it
I am a bad boy

* * * *

Yeah, I didn't make up the 'refrigerator' one. I heard it years ago and have seen it on t-shirts and such.

I feel dirty now, like I got a purple star under false pretenses. Which I did. Muahahahahaaaaa!

I have been lied to!
Bamboozled, hoodwinked and tricked -
I demand justice

The purple star's mine!
Pry it from my cold dead hands!
I run for the hills!

I think of a poem;
Twinkle, twinkle purple star!
You are not mine yet.

-----------------------------------------------
I'll drive my wife nuts
Iambic Pentameter
Is what I will speak.

-----------------------------------------------
Twinkle, purple star!
I'll worship you from afar
For you are not mine.

Haiku doesn't rhyme
The Meter seems to be prime
So no rhyme this time.
