FAQ: Do you know of any haiku poetry that I can use to gently ask people not to bother me while I work?
Gentle Rebuff Haiku Poetry
N.B. Brad Keating wrote the final three poems, which may not  qualify as 'gentle
window papered shut
like eyelid in cold reproof
shields focus and love
 

Umbrella in rain 
Offensive line for pass rush,
Door blocks distractions. 



Red alert: shields up!
Helm, maintain your course and speed.
Steady as she goes.



Black gates of Mordor.
Beyond, the fires of Mount Doom.
Hiding from The Eye.


Standing on the bridge
Wizard confronts the Balrog
with: "You shall not pass!"
