Patrick Chanezon: Haiku

Birthday Haiku

Tue, 01 Apr 2003 17:51:47 GMT

spring is coming
I'm thirty five -
still there in front of my black computer

I tried to think about an original Haiku but could not resist paraphrasing Issa, who said it all.

"spring is coming
I'm fourty three -
still there in front of my white rice"

My back aches-
My son begins to walk
We're both riding the train.

Sunshine on my java beans
an eclipse is coming
coffee tastes bitter today.

My First Haiku

Wed, 05 Mar 2003 14:52:39 GMT

I've stopped writing poetry more than 10 years ago, to spend my time writing for computers and fellow programmers (I'm a big believer in Knuth's Literate Programming approach).

I decided to go back to it. One poem a day. I'll start with haikus and senryus, in english, and see where it brings me.

a rosebud on white snow -
first haiku is posted
Google quietly gets it.
