03 Jul 2009

Today’s poem is a similar theme poem I did about spam emails and messages, and is titled “Bit Bucket” referring what happens to computer data that never reaches its target and is discarded by a system. This farcical technical poem just came ot me after seeing the words transactions, messages and defecate. Thanks to the following twitter followers for the 12 random words (in blue) today:

@houseofpuroy (defecate), @writingnag (messages), @RemBeatZ (transactions), @JenaIsle (rigor mortis), @KathrynVercillo (independent), @JessRenH (forlorn), @jamiain (lazy), @katheesue (grinding), @evliving (snark), @stnmoon (Audience), @tiajb10 (lilly pad), @R_Arblaster (iconic)

Bit Bucket

Don’t believe the grinding lazy messages
nothing but rigor mortis transactions
a forlorn phantom snark
independent, trying to find an audience
but instead of reaching their target
internet channels defecate constantly
these bytes and bits constantly leap
like a frog over a digital lilly pad
as they all eventually end up
in the iconic bit bucket

Runaway Process – Random Twitter Poem for May 19th

twitter poems
19 May 2009

My dragonblogger.com site has been down for 8 hours now due to runaway php plug-ins on wordpress which I can’t isolate and resolve, my frustration has reached critical mass, and I am eagerly awaiting to find and fix the problem.  In the meantime the 14 random words provided (in blue) all provided fuel for my frustration about this runaway php process, so many words worked so well it was like I was mean’t to vent into a poem.  Thanks to my twitter followers for submitting these words today:

@SusanBerland (memory), @R_Arblaster (consumption), @filigreegirl (vintage), @azredneck (grapes), @Zorlone (incognito), @jan_geronimo (nascent), @karenswim (agile), @shemah (birthday), @santasdevil (destruction), @worryknot (intrepid), @VOTS_Roads (patience), @purplefrogcat (monsoon), @ElyssaD (angst), @KnightDiver (shadow)

Runaway Process

a single nacent incognito agile process
a shadow monsoon bent on intrepid destruction
that all started with memory consumption
the angst and cause of my struggles
as if suffering The Grapes of Wrath

This isn’t some vintage hardware
my patience tested to the limits
and this process shall never see
another birthday on this system

Once it is found, it is inevitable
My revenge will be swift
And with a single click
You shall be purged
