I was going through files from a decade ago and found a collection of haiku poems that took computer problems—something that seems like a modern, human/technological issue—and transformed them into poems about the human condition. Given how frequently computer tragedies happened, the haiku writer was prolific.
I’ve no idea who wrote these, but for anyone who ever experienced a computer crash or got an error message about a missing file, you’ll relate. I’ll serve up more later. Enjoy!

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

Clever! Oh, my…how well I remember the panic I felt when that blue screen of death would appear. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen one in a long time. I wonder happened to them….

Yes…I’m glad those haiku mostly don’t apply anymore. And…I have had total computer failure once where I was really glad I had a good backup!!
