Code + Poem = ??? (Should it be called ‘Copoem’?)

This afternoon, an idea flashed across my mind. It was about combining my profession with my hobby (I am a software developer by profession and a part time poet).

I have somehow always seen the exhibition of one’s quantitative abilities and other artistic forms of expression with the same eye and truly believe that they are the embodiments of the same human ability called ‘Creativity’. Today, I dared to tinker with the amalgamation of these two embodiments of creativity that I just mentioned and tried to come up with a small example of how such a product would look like.

At the end of my first attempt, I have still not been able to convince myself about an appropriate name
for such an unconventional and hybrid form of expression. Probably, there is something already out there with a good name and which I could conveniently reuse. :-)

But for now, I guess it is time to sit back and sample a ‘Copoem’ ;-) . Here it goes:

/* Life is full of ambitions */

Life is full of ambitions;

if (we succeed)

{

it will lead to celebrations;

}

else

{

(we run out of patience) && ( believe that they are just imaginary creations)

}

return;

/*  The End  */
