I mean really... misname a variable or reference the wrong one and you can change the entire program; perfect words change the effect of a poem, too.<br /><br />Maybe this ties into the idea that some code is "elegant" whereas other code is more like long-winded prose?<br /><br />I like the comparison, though, as one who has done coding and poetry writing in his day.Greg Pincushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449684160718426340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-53886025758063162402013-04-04T09:00:41.903-04:002013-04-04T09:00:41.903-04:00Hi guys, thank you for the comments!

I'm looking forward to reading about YOUR post on "Poetry is Code".<br /><br />Linda, yes, that's a good point to add: they communicate stories!<br /><br />Hi Cody, I've tweeted you. Haven't received a tweet back yet. Good poems you have there. I like the line, "To ingite a fire, all we need is a spark."<br /><br />Hi Laura, thank you! I try my best not to bore people with what might be two terrifying-at-first subjects. :PGloson Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812253533120922181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-84794123838606881912013-04-02T18:17:24.308-04:002013-04-02T18:17:24.308-04:00Love this--especially about the line breaks.

Im not trying to be a charity case but if you could check out my blog of poetry, codyante.blogspot.com the views would really mean a lot. I just want to get my name out there, i love writing and i want to make something of myself with it. Please stop by, read a few, judge harshly, share if youod like, anything to make my dream a reality.

What a terrific post of analogies from poetry to code making. I have a former student who is about to graduate from h.s. who writes apps for Apple & wrote much poetry in my class. I think he will love your post-will share it! I guess throughout you were really talking about what code & poetry do artistically, & I would add one more, they communicate stories, whether code or poetry, both tell about something! I love "just like poetry tells your mind what to display, code tells the browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc) what to display" too. Thanks for all!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-23598683216112597792013-04-02T11:14:09.164-04:002013-04-02T11:14:09.164-04:00Nicely done, Gloson.

As expected, this ended up being very different than my draft "Poetry is Code" (inverse of WordPress tagline) post, as you will see whenever I get around to finishing it! Thanks for sharing your POV with everyone, and thank you Laura for what should be a very interesting month on your site!<br /><br />-EdEd DeCariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008811161729435126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-13706150677998015742013-04-02T10:21:45.956-04:002013-04-02T10:21:45.956-04:00So much to consider here!

Wonderful metaphor and explanation of codes and sculptors and poetry.
