Where Computers and Poetry Collide:
If They Wrote Error Messages in Haiku

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
– James Lopez |
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
– David J. Liszewski |
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
– Simon Firth |
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that.
– Margaret Segall |
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
– Peter Rothman |
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
– Bill Torcaso |
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
– David Dixon |
The code was willing,
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak.
– Barry L. Brumitt |
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down.
– David Ansel |
