Imagine if your computer produced error messages in Haiku:

A file that big?

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

Chaos reigns within.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.

Order shall return.

Wind catches lily

scattring petals to the wind:

segmentation fault.

ABORTED effort:

Close all that you have.

You ask way too much.

First snow, then silence.

This thousand dollar screen dies

so beautifully.

With searching comes loss

and the presence of absence:

My Novel not found.

The Tao that is seen

Is not the true Tao, until

You bring fresh toner.

The Web site you seek

cannot be located but

endless others exist.

Stay the patient course

Of little worth is your ire

The network is down.

A crash reduces

your expensive computer

to a simple stone.

Yesterday it worked

Today it is not working

Windows is like that.

To have no errors

Would be life without meaning

No struggle, no joy.

You step in the stream,

but the water has moved on.

This page is not here.

Out of memory.

We wish to hold the whole sky,

But we never will.
