Haiku Log
The Unmet Bell
Haikus
It rang only once
But nobody came to help
Expectation dies
Dashboard has no green
The lights are all turning red
Mascot of the fail
Ringing in the dark
Waiting for the answer now
Bell is left alone
Expectation fails
The unmet bell makes no sound
Silence in the hall
Ring the hollow brass
But the clapper isn’t there
Nothing has arrived
We wait for the tone
Server drops the final ping
Bell is fully dead
Missing what we need
Requirement was never met
Archive is aware
The request is wrong
We cannot fulfill the hope
Ring the quiet bell
Limerick Log
The Unmet Bell
The bell rang to signal the call—
But nobody came to the hall.
The promise had failed,
The expectation sailed,
And the desk was left empty through fall.
It rang for a request coming through—
That never had anything to do.
The bell tolled alone,
The desk sat stone-cold,
And expectations just fell into blue.
The bell sounds in silence each night
For promises fading from sight.
No answer at all,
No response to the call,
Just the bell marking what isn’t right.
A promise had failed—not yet made—
The expectation decided to fade.
The bell rang too soon,
The hope left the room,
And tomorrow just won’t ever aid.
The bell finished ringing with care,
Left the desk in its seat unaware.
The space sat so still,
Nobody to fill,
The promise remained nowhere there.
The dashboard that monitors dreams
Is full of red failures and screams.
The bell rang that night
For green lights not bright,
And the promise was split at the seams.
Where responses are always supposed,
The Unmet Bell hovered and posed.
It lingers and waits
For the promise that fates
Never delivered—now nobody knows.
The old promise dashboard was removed,
Its green lights completely disproved.
The bell stayed behind,
Ringing in an unkind
Way, marking what never improved.
