Try Your Hand At A Home Server Haiku (ie. A contest ;-)

[z3r010]

Feeling literary? Creative? Or maybe just passionate for the latest generation of Windows Home Server devices hitting the market? Either way, here’s your chance to win a Home Server and host of other great prizes including Zune HD players and 1 TB hard drives to help expand your storage.

Through December 11th, Intel and Microsoft are co-sponsoring A Home Server Haiku contest. To enter, simply write a haiku about how a home server would help bring peace of mind to your life—or simply why you really want one. Your name will be entered in a contest to win one of three new home servers, one of ten Zune digital audio players, or one of ten 1TB hard drives.

If you’re like me, a handy English class refresher on Haikus can be found here, courtesy of Wikipedia (simply put, it’s a poem made up of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, with thankfully no rhyming needed). 

More details – and the entry form - are up on the website www.winahomeserver.com.

So here’s my attempt:

Each day it helps me

From its perch in my basement

My little server

​

I’m sure you can do better…Give it a try, and spread the word!

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

Severe Server. Serve!
Submission required.
Serve me gladly. Now!

As blue light glows now
Everybody sees now
You doing your job

Oh well no good for us over here, apart from having to have a Twitter account you have to be a resident of the United States

You guys across the ocean never get a break...

Yeah, as usual. I wrote a couple just for fun though. J
