Error messages in Haiku?

Normal error message in Perl:<p><pre><code> $ perl -Mstrict -e &#x27;say $x&#x27; Global symbol &quot;$x&quot; requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare &quot;my $x&quot;?) at -e line 1. Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. </code></pre> With the addition of `Coy` module [1]:<p><pre><code> $ perl -Mstrict -MCoy -e &#x27;say $x&#x27; ----- Gautama dies near a monastry. Two woodpeckers fly over the lake. ----- Or Wunt&#x27;s commentary... Global symbol &quot;$x&quot; requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare &quot;my $x&quot;?) (Analects of -e: line 1. Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.) </code></pre> [1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;metacpan.org&#x2F;pod&#x2F;Coy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;metacpan.org&#x2F;pod&#x2F;Coy</a>

A few times a month&#x2F;year I&#x27;ll get some email because the sender made a typo of the domain they wanted. Postmaster notifies them with:<p><pre><code> your mistake not mine email sent to wrong address retry with more care</code></pre>

The old Net+ errors[1] are still golden. My favorite:<p><pre><code> A file that big? It might be very useful But now it is gone. </code></pre> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;8325.org&#x2F;haiku&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;8325.org&#x2F;haiku&#x2F;</a>

Juniper networking equipment has a hidden CLI command that spits out a nerdy or sleep deprived haiku:<p>E.G<p><pre><code> Juniper&gt; show version and haiku; IS-IS Screams, BGP peer flapping; I want my mommy! TTL down one the end nearer with each hop little packet, poof. Amazing photons Carry our data worldwide Never seem to stop My session is dead: Forgot to commit confirm. Where are my car keys? </code></pre> For some reason, it’s hard to find all of them compiled in one place. I think it changes over time depending on the version of JUNOS and the hardware platform.<p>It was always a little uplifting when you had an incident occurring and you needed a little something—anything—to keep you going (:

What is it with Haiku? The whole 5-7-5 structure just doesn&#x27;t ring true with me at all. I mean, I get that it is enigmatic, but it just seems like it&#x27;s enigmatic purely by virtue of not having any other redeeming quality.

Clearly someone has not used Beos.

The greatest error message in Haiku ever was:<p>I am so sorry.<p>Something struck me in the rear.<p>I just ... wound up ... here.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;avatar.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Transcript:The_Tales_of_Ba_Sing_Se" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;avatar.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Transcript:The_Tales_of_Ba_Si...</a>

These are lovely and lighthearted with a 5-7-5 structure, but for anyone interested in how English might actually express the spirit and content and structure of haiku, here&#x27;s a nice article.[1] Or, of course, WP as a jumping off point.[2]<p>But long live creativity in constrained form, whatever the label!<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;britishhaikusociety.org.uk&#x2F;2011&#x2F;02&#x2F;english-haiku-a-composite-view&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;britishhaikusociety.org.uk&#x2F;2011&#x2F;02&#x2F;english-haiku-a-co...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Haiku_in_English" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Haiku_in_English</a>

It&#x27;s a shame that the word haiku is now used for any arbitrary collection of 3 lines with none of what would actually make them a haiku.
