Haiku

[mac1]

Haiku Is Concise
This, My Second Attempt, Sucks
No Subject Matter

[I, Brian]

Lol!

[scifimoth]

DOG

sincere soul of love

true spirit of chivalry

an innocent wolf

[dwndrgn]

Innocent my posterior!
They can be the most mischievous little rascals!

[kiwimac]

These are, I think, both not-half-bad Haiku and strangely accurate

So for your education and personal enjoyment I present WINDOWS ERROR MESSAGE HAIKU!

A file that Big?
It might be very useful
But now it is gone!

Chaos reigns within
Reflect, rethink and reboot
Order shall return

Serious Error
All shortcuts have disppeared
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

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

Kiwimac

[dwndrgn]

Good ones kiwimac!

[scifimoth]

I like those...they ring so true...LOL

[I, Brian]

Definitely like the Windows Haikus, too.

[mac1]

I, mac1
Guardian of the Triforce
Am really impressed

I like those Haikus,
Cynical, yet quite astute,
Your good Kiwimac

[I, Brian]

And here are the rest of the Windows Haikus :

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful computer error
messages with Haiku poetry messages. They're used to communicate a
timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through
extreme brevity. Here are 13 actual error messages from Japan:

1. The web site you seek cannot be located, but countless more exist.

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

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

4. Windows crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your
screams.

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

6. Your file was so big. It might be very useful, but now it is gone.

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

8. A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone.

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

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

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

12. Having been erased, the document you're seeking must now be retyped.

13. Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen ... mind - both are blank.

Oh, Gosh! I wish I had, nope they are not mine, guess I didn't make that clear, eh?

Now, Brian, if you are going to post 'em at least post em in Haiku format

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

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

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

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

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

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

First snow, then silence.
The thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.

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

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.

No matter the format, those are hilarious. I especially like

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

and

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

[I, Brian]

That was a favourite as well.

Btw - apologies - I presumed it would be assumed that they were from elsewhere.

Though if anyone wants to compose original ones that could be quite superb.

A grey box on screen
I must click on yes or no
No response - it crashed

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

This one is definitely my favourite. I just wish I could install all these messages into my PC. It would make crashing a pleasure.
