[SOLVED] To celebate the recent Slackware Current Beta; A HAIKU CONTEST!

kingbeowulf · 04-16-2021, 07:33 PM

Slackware poetry was mention in another (nonsensical) thread, so let's celebrate with Haiku! Following the basic English Haiku format as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_in_English although no need to be completely pedantic on these rules. Go nuts!

Winners get to download Slackware 15.0 stable on release (bandwidth not included)!

To start, here are my unworthy, meager efforts:

--------------------------
As Spring winds herald
Summer's temperate embrace,
Slackware fifteen release.
---------------------------
Slackware stable anon
Acolytes perseverance
When it is ready.
--------------------------
Shall we compare Slack
in substantial glory?
Windows be damned.
--------------------------

Nice!

Here's mine:

I type the command
and each mirror update runs
will spring bring more rain?

I cannot wait for
Slackware stable, Plasma 5,
Xfce too.

Another entry:

Five years 14-2
I am getting excited;
Is it ready yet?

In bad winds, it resists
His dictator, always persists
28 spring later, the 15th is on the list

Redhat declares war
But now the seas have settled
With Slackware i boot

Weather patterns shift.
Mass rebuilds. Hi Plasma, PAM!
Yet the same: Slackware.

The 15th darkstar approaches
amidst a summer's dream.
Will I be swept away by Current?

Stable and perfect
Enduring the seas of change
Slackware is the one

I despise Haiku(s)! I almost didn't pass 6th grade English because the teacher, for some reason, decided the last day of school before summer vacation, we each needed to make a haiku and it had to pass or we had to sit there until we came up with one that would pass. For an hour I tried, tried, re-tried, over and over and over, ad nauseam, and no matter how hard I tried, couldn't create a Haiku to save my life. I even had to sit for 30 minutes *after* everyone else was let out to go home and still couldn't. I think my final try she must have just felt sorry for me and gave me a 'D' on it and let me go.

The damned things made no sense 47 years ago to me and *still* don't!

Spring current
