The Haiku Archive (6)

by Robin Bloor on May 30, 2008

More haikus:

————————————————————————————————–

#28: Reaction to Twitter performance problems. Apparently Twitter is written in Ruby on Rails

Twitter in the tank
Ruby has veered off the Rails;
time for a blamestorm?

————————————————————————————————–

#29: This one was created when I realized that the last two lines actually obeyed the haiku form. It hopes to encourage others to try their hand at this simple yet beguiling form of poetry.

Writing haikus is
Shooting fish in a barrel
with a machine gun

————————————————————————————————–

#30: Recognizing the word Twaiku which seems to be the consensus term for Twitter Haikus

Idea for a book
Pulp fact rather than pulp fiction
“Twaikus for Dummies”

————————————————————————————————–

#31 Reflecting on the collective angst of Hillary Clinton supporters as she lost to Obama

We are the boomers
The obsessive narcissists
Monkeys with mirrors

————————————————————————————————–

#32 A question that answers itself…

Did anyone ever
Compose a haiku that said
Nothing whatever

————————————————————————————————–

#33 Odd fact enshrined in a Haiku

In the Philippines
There is a remote village
That is named Sexmoan

————————————————————————————————–

#34 The daily grind

A breeze through the room
Disturbs my thoughts, then ping!
An email arrives.
