Funny, I was just thinking of starting a haiku thread today.

Nothing is certain
But null pointer exception
Guess why it occurred

<small>Commentary: "Well, this is certainly inane, but it could have been a lot worse. I mean, given the title. But, yes... The irony is unmistakable. I mean, to use a product like Word to compose haiku... It's like using a pneumatic socket gun to adjust your eyeglasses, or a fire hose to artificially inseminate a gnat. So, when readers come away with the understanding that Bill Gates is an irritating gnat... Well, who can say that's not beautiful?" ~Leslie M�sknvorr (noted haiku analyst)</small>

Of complication, despond and general distress;
are two nulls equal?
I fear both No and Yes!

it breaks for a case of switch
else return default

How about sonnets??

[Suhaasi Karnik]

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So does my BuildAll hasten to its end.
Each adding error with that which goes before,
In frequent succession, all I can do is contend.
Control, once in the main() of a public class,
Crawls to execution, wherewith, each thread,
the Eclipse steps over to glory, But alas...
Reviewer that gave, doth now his comments I dread.
I bugfix with a flourish set on by the running clock.
And delve the Sun(site) in the darkness of the night.
Feeding on the surety their code trail truth shall unlock.
And nothing stands but for his all-knowing sight,
And yet, to Tester, in hope, my code shall withstand,
Praising my worth, despite his cruel command.

'Tis but a talent so rare
that variegate thou canst such verse
Accolades are what thou deserv'st
Worry not whether it got better or worse

I find it again
A Null Pointer Exception

I received this one a while back in an email:

<?song version="1.0" name="XSLT" author="Robin Johnson"?>
 
 
Young man, there's no need to feel blue
I said, young man, here's a language for you
If your data doesn't look like it ought
There's no need to feel so distraught
 
 
Young man, if you're going through hell
Trying to transform all of your XML
I said young man, are you listenin' to me?
You can stick that damn ASP...
 
 
<xsl:template name="chorus">
It's fun to program in XSLT!
It's fun to program in XSLT!
Every line in your code
Is an XML node
And the program is one big tree
 
 
It's fun to program in XSLT!
It's fun to program in XSLT!
It works functionally
And it's side-effect free
And the variables don't vary
</xsl:template>
 
 
It's a language like no other you've seen
It's got constructs that will make you turn green
It's recursive as a thing that recurs
And it ain't got no procedures
 
 
Young man - if you don't know .NET
And you haven't read your Java books yet
There is still time to learn XSLT
It's almost as easy as C...
 
 
<xsl:call-template name="chorus"/>
 
 
XSLT!
XSLT!
Young man, young man, there's no need for distress!
Young man, young man, put down that CSS!
 
 
XSLT!
XSLT!
XSLT!... etc.

This one I found on the XML-DEV list a while ago:

X M L just so
Trees, so many leaves to be
Yes, this too shall parse

Lead to great complications,
A combination of dulls�. [Hugh Darwen]

Could somebody take a pain and let us all know what is this java haiku exactly....

I read complete thread and didn't get anything from this thread.

For what we are discussing here..

[Pradeep bhatt]

From wordweb
Haiku - An epigrammatic Japanese verse form of three short lines

[Nathan Leniz]

Stealing this one from a T-Shirt I saw.

Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don't make sense,
refrigerator.

And my own, dedicated to learning Java.

Trying to code well,
the compiler hates my guts,
tells me "go to hell".

Another error,
I missed a semi-colon,
I long for run time.

In addition to that, the first and third lines have 5 syllables, while the second line has 7 syllables. So some of the poems posted above are not proper Haikus.

[fred rosenberger]

the first and third lines have 5 syllables, while the second line has 7 syllables.

Not according to the wikipedia.quote:

The traditional hokku consisted of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, and 5 morae, phonetic units which only partially correspond to the syllables of languages such as English.

These discussions can get quite nasty in literary forums.


haiku's rebuttal

clever passages
syllabically broken
do not make haiku.
[ December 29, 2006: Message edited by: marc weber ]

[marc weber]

I think the essence of haiku transcends a syllable count, but a symmetry remains important to me. For example, a 2-4-2 pattern, or a 4-6-4 pattern...


cast

snow falls
from a gray sky
I watch


grave

in times of snow
I remember the cold
dust on her lips


(Sorry these aren't Java related, but the discussion seems to have expanded.)
