Just in case you need some help with haiku format: http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#howtowritehaiku

so here is the first one:



I drift peacefully,
on the waves of cyberspace,
embraced by logic...

...it settles me
with simple complexity
a cool hard weight

The ten thousand things
How long do any persist?
The file, not there.

First snow then silence
This expensive server dies
So beautifully

...the server is dead
the data, wasted...worthless
Like Gore's Hurricane... :p

It is Friday
Work stops, Bars open
I am pissed.

Happy hour,
approaches near_
five o'clock is the time for cheap bear.

isnt haiku 5-7-5?

No idea. They don't teach Haiku in schools here (or didn't anyway).
All we got were sonnets

In japanese, the rules for how to write Haiku are clear, and will not be discussed here. In foreign languages, there exist NO consensus in how to write Haiku-poems

not being picky, but it was obvious to me, i did learn it in grade school.

From Here : http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#howtowritehaiku

Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In japanese, this convention is a must, but in english, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.
