    I've never done Haiku before....

    Winter leaves tumble
    Chasing each other along
    They look like sparrows.

    We sit together
    the mountain and I
    until only the mountain remains.

    A rose without thorns?!
    Why are there so many thorns
    when there is no rose ?

    They said it couldn't be done;
    that hacker experiences couldn't be expressed in haiku.
    Or, perhaps they said it shouldn't be done?

    Too late. Here are my top ten Hacker Haikus:

    * The Hacker

    Don't fear the hacker
    he just enjoys the challenge
    ...of cleaning your disk!

    * Gates' Law

    Great chips run high speeds
    but bloatware slows to crawl
    heat is main output

    * The Script Kiddie

    My server was hacked
    SSH had a hole
    now my box is 0wned

    * Turbo Mode

    Overclock your box
    it is very fast ... at first
    warranty now void

    * The Ghost Ship Bug

    The bug seemed so small
    Game database was trashed
    I must start new game

    * Email Dilemma

    Mail is killer app
    spam overflows my quota
    I need new mailbox

    * Code Red II

    My website was so grand
    until the day it changed
    to an odd demand

    * The Email Virus

    Don't open that file!
    it has a strange subject line...
    you mail all your friends

    * The Buggy OS

    My box crashed again
    the registry was corrupt
    Slackware brought it up

    * The IT Shuffle

    One group gets upgrade
    next group can't read their files
    Now they upgrade too

    cool ones!

    exactly what are the rules of Haiku? I know for sure that once in a while a thought pops into my mind...and I wanna write it down but it's just a couple sentences so I often just don't write it down

  20. Haiku rules are simple

    3 lines
    first line has 5 syllables
    second has 7
    third has 5

    No need to rhyme or anything.

    Oh, and the more cryptic you can be, the better.

    Mike

    why are haiku's considered "special" ?
    the rules seems pretty simple and random 5-7-5 - anyone know how it came to be precisely that?

    it is not that i dislike them - on this thread i definately have to complement Carnuth's haiku on losing half the world - very nice haiku imho

    the idea is to limit yourself to find a greater level of creativity.

    imagine an acrobat tired of all the same old same old tricks, so he binds himself, ties one leg, and lashes an arm to his body at the elbow. then He goes about coming up with new manuvers given his new limitations.

    A test to see if you can do more with less.
