Haiku!

I've never done Haiku before....

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

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 :(
 
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.

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.
