Here's a haiku thread
Cease on Where is Nokia (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=288107#post288107)
Birds migrate, alight

[qgil]

Thank you GeraldKo!
Hopefully the old jaikus
will move like breeze here.

[penguinbait]

I want a new toy
must run linux very well
will it ever come

[debernardis]

Time vanishes
shall new tablets come
Finnish summer

[qole]

There, Upon The Wall
Look, Three Connected Pictures
A Haiku Triptych

Birds sing in lush trees
Children play in green meadows
But we wait and chafe

Still air hangs heavy
The hazy landscape shimmers
No Fremantle wind

Seasons pass us by
Xephyr is lime green, charcoal
But still no hardware

(my apologies
I edited many times
Correcting errors)

[lm2]

not mine, but awesome:

writing a poem
in seventeen syllables
is very diffic

[Reggie]

As I type and think
waiting for a new tablet
I can smell the rain

[angelb]

Faithful Tablet,
should need no upgrades.
In secret I yearn.

[penguinbait]

battle rages on
Nokia or Pandora
the victor gets spoils

things change much unrest
the people demand darkness
Reggie settles all

haiku's are fun poems
feeling like Nostradamus
the future unknown

Council Elections
September comes fast much work
The takeover starts

ha ha, these are fun
mmm barbecue almost done
look I rhymed ha ha

:o :) :( :confused: :mad:
:p ;) :D :rolleyes: :cool: :eek: :o
:) :( :confused: :mad: :p

[geneven]

My tablet shivers.
Wishing in the wind
To be surpassed.

[timsamoff]

Staying up too late
Catching up on new haikus
Time to go to sleep

[debernardis]

Dreams of new tablets
my SIM needs a place to stay
Fall brings convergence

[wazd]

People gone crazy
while waiting for new tablet
Nokia, save us

[krisse]

I cannot think of
anything to fill the number
of syllables now

[andrewfblack]

My new theme done
Reggie will soon release it
Then bugs will begin

[timsamoff]

My new theme done
Reggie will soon release it
Then bugs will begin

Perfection.

-T.

[daperl]

I woke this Spring morn
Numbers, letters in my head
Time to write some code

[YoDude]

Beans are very good.
As I wait for new tablet
a foul wind passes.

[daperl]

Like Data with his chip
I cannot stop this laughing
YoDude is killing me

[fpp]

eee seventy one
faithful tablet companion
do not take its place !

[KristianW]

Bugs, bugs fly away
from my tablet ev'ry day!
In the summer wind.

[krisse]

Turn it on and off
Try updating the firmware
Total waste of money

[TrueJournals]

Writing a haiku
Waiting for a new device
Product announcement?

I fail at haiku
But I like to try anyway
Counting syllables

A lot of thinking
Goes into these short haikus
All my wasted time

[andrewfblack]

New theme is out
Complaints are rolling in now
Banging head on desk

[fpp]

You did a great job
Whiners are just - well, whiners
Minimalist rocks !

[GeraldKo]

New theme is out
Complaints are rolling in now
Banging head on desk

Times like this I wish
There were a button for Thanks!
Thanks, Andrew F Black

[TrueJournals]

Are people really
Verifying these haikus
Or do we just let it pass?

:D

[fpp]

That one there was wrong
I sense duplicity
Or just irony ?

[qole]

Turn it on and off
Try updating the firmware
Total waste of money

In thirteen terse words
Krisse summarized a thread
Thirteen pages long.

EDIT:

Perhaps I am wrong;
Krisse may have one syllable.
I am ignorant.

[geneven]

spirit of haiku
not syllable count
is what matters most.
programmers prefer precise rules
over spirit.
this is not haiku
but it can be fun.
this is not haiku.
haiku
does not compute.

(thanks)

That was the idea,
By the way krisse has got
two syllables yes.

Quick reply and thanks adjoin

Another thread is
Bug report dedicated
*Ponders cross-posting (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=288783#post288783)*

[Benson]

Center alignment
Makes bug reports (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=288780&postcount=32?styleid=15) symmetric
Like flying saucers.

Space aliens are
Natural (and poetic),
Xenophobe pedants!

[Reggie]

A lot of great haikus. Just a note though, haikus are not just just 3 lines with 5,7,5 syllables. It should appeal to the senses. A haiku should paint an image while you are reading it. If you want it more strict, it should hint about the season, so mention something about nature.

Now let's see more haikus with a lot more imagery! :D

[TrueJournals]

Reggie kills our thread
The current season is spring
Are you happy now? :P

Shouldn't a haiku
be Japanese syllables?
I just write faikus. :p

(Seriously, I think I may have ever composed one proper English haiku. Since real poetry is, oddly enough, hard work, I just throw out half 90% of the rules and have fun instead.)

This haiku is so silky, romantic, tactile, lush, downright spousal. I loved it.

[sjgadsby]

:P

How many syllables is that smiley?

[qole]

Early Adopter (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=287953#post287953)

A scent of perfume;
A new infatuation,
Object of desire.

[TheRealBubba]

Cherry blooms have gone now
I must have napped through Spring's end...
Damn, I need a PIM!

[TrueJournals]

How many syllables is that smiley?

Poetic license?
I say zero syllables
Or kill the haiku...

:D

[timsamoff]

It appears that my
Workload increases ten-fold
When I go away

[debernardis]

petals are trembling
summer's drippin' away
miss my flash plugin

[benh_n900]

My two fragile hands
Tremble softly in the wind
The landscape stays still

My n900
Is better than your iphone
In so many ways

P R one point three
Sitting on the horizon
When will it arrive?

[qole]

heat waves from pavement
the bright sun shows no pathway
i wander aimless

[Texrat]

USB port fails
electronic suicide
back to prior phone

[Sopwith]

The sound of the crickets,
the wisdom of the net,
I get drunk on my own.

[debernardis]

reflashing my life
maybe my kernel only
autumn is to come
