Haiku

Write (3) haikus about Haiku

This is a creative writing task to write (3) interesting haikus about Haiku.

Traditionally, haiku is written in a total of 17 syllables, in three lines, with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line (5+7+5=17). Here is an example:

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

Your haiku needs to specifically relate to the Haiku Operating System in some specific way. That means you need to do some homework to understand what a haiku is, what Haiku is (most important), and then creatively come up with something interesting and clever.

DO NOT SUBMIT A GENERIC HAIKU.

You must submit 3 completely original poems in English that is specifically about Haiku. If it doesn't take you at least an hour, you're probably not being clever or creative enough and it will be the mentor's subjective discretion to have you come up with something different. If you feel inspired, you may submit multiple haiku at the same time, but label them so feedback can refer to them by their label.

Submit your haikus in a comment and mark the task as ready for review. Start with a blank line and then put four spaces at the beginning of each line so that it formats correctly:

[space][space][space][space]Example Haiku #1:
[blank line]
[space][space][space][space]format your haiku
[space][space][space][space]as a GCI comment
[space][space][space][space]on lines just like this.
