Please note that if you actually DID write me a haiku about daleks I now strongly suspect you're a bot.

Suspecting a bot
Where a bot there is not
Police box empty.

@cstross A real human would've said, "you're the one with the Nebula award, write your own damn haiku, Stross!"

[cturnbow@mastodon.world]

@WellsiteGeo @cstross

"Must exterminate"

would at least be the first or last line of such a haiku, bot or no bot

@mdm I have no Nebula award! (Three Hugos, sure. But never a Neb. Boo hoo, how sad, never mind …)

@cstross

A Dalek can't write
Iambic pentameter
But could it write this?

Honestly, now it just feels like you're egging us on.

@cstross bot, or just someone with ADHD?

[wellsitegeo@masto.ai]

@cturnbow @cstross Sounds good to me.

I actually composed a haiku several days ago, twiddle it to get the syllable count right and everything. Most poetic I've been for decades - except when making up rude slogans against Orange Lodge marches.

@cstross @mdm Perhaps a nebulous award to tide you over?

@cstross I was going to try one for fun but realized I haven’t had enough coffee yet for poetry.
