Thread: Error Haiku

Apparently Windows=Better in Japan, just for the beautiful error poetry. I'm told that these are actually real, though I take clever things like this with a grain of salt.


The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.

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

Program aborting
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

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.

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

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

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Three things are certain
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

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

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

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


On a more poetic note, would anyone like to do a Renga with me?

Oh my Goodness!!!!!!!!! SOSO FUNNY!

My grandmother(s) and I come up with Haiku all the time, it's quite possibly my favorite form of poetry.

I had never thought of a tech-inspired Haiku (most of mine are about ronin, go figure), so I thought I'd share when I was shown these in my Lit class.

Thanks for crushing my dreams AC...

Sorry bro, I broke it as softly as I could.
I love the format myself. It's the only form of poetry I write.

Acid's dreams shatter
into bitter memory
dark rose petals fall

Well, if you read the original post, I didn't really believe them...japanese usually doesn't translate that cleanly you know...but they are cute!

I agree. They're great.

What really sucks is, right before I read this, a document that took me 20 minutes to type got deleted as I was trying to send it =(

That haiku mocks me =\
