The Haiku Hut


Recommended Posts

Funny this should be a thread- someone recently sent me these "jazz haikus".

Jam session bassist

Observes fourteen soloists

Contemplates murder

Say, do you guys know

"Wedding Song" by Kenny G?

Buy the damn record

Riffing on "Rudolph"

Musicians in red and green

Learn humlility

I'm sending a sub

But don't worry, he'll be fine

He's fresh from rehab

Solo pianist

Freed from all constraints of form

Heedlessly mangles

Jazz nymphs crowd bandstand

Offering carnal delights

My alarm clock rings

Forty-two straight gigs

With no requests for "Take Five"

Time to call Guinness

New Years revelers

Here's hoping the stroke of twelve

Sends you the hell home

That plate of hors d'oeuvres

Cost more than we're getting paid

Think we underbid?

God Bless trust fund gigs

Only have to eat ramen

For a few more weeks

Organissimo

I cannot avert my eyes

A strange attraction

Keith Jarrett "Nude Ants"

This album really hits me

Each time I hear it

...and two from "Gentle Giant" on Jazz Corner that I like:

There is no equal

No prequel and no sequel

To A Love Supreme

That Steely Dan riff

I loved so much -- it comes from

Song For My Father

Just got sent some computer-related haikus B-)

A file that big?

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

The Web site you seek

Can not be located but

Countless more exist.

Chaos reigns within.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.

Order shall return.

ABORTED effort:

Close all that you have worked on.

You ask far too much.

Windows NT crashed.

I am the Blue Screen of Death.

No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.

Today it is not working.

Windows is like that.

First snow, then silence.

This thousand dollar screen dies

So beautifully.

With searching comes loss

And the presence of absence:

"My Novel" not found.

The Tao that is seen

Is not the true Tao-until

You bring fresh toner.

Stay the patient course.

Of little worth is your ire.

The network is down.

A crash reduces

Your expensive computer

To a simple stone.

Three things are certain:

Death, taxes, and lost data.

Guess which has occurred.

You step in the stream,

But the water has moved on.

This page is not here.

Out of memory.

We wish to hold the whole sky,

But we never will.

Having been erased,

The document you're seeking

Must now be retyped.

Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeared.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
