Haikus: Green Dot & DukeCE

Often when I work on essays and programming, poetry emerges spontaneously. Today in celebration of a programming victory I write this haiku:

Green Dot Haiku:

the green dot is freed
possibilities abound
to become all things

Getting a green dot to move between 2 black boxes seems like such a trivial thing when I write it out. What is not seen is the work in understanding the architecture of the language, getting the grammar just right, to do what you imagine is possible. Once I was able to write the lines of code that did this one simple thing, all things become possible now. I have emerged victorious.

An older haiku for DukeCE:

Duke CE the dream
we had once big ideas
changing others, changed me

Onwards.
