Lines of code written,
Lines of poetry written,
Have things in common;
Soul of a Poem and,
Soul of a Program combined,
It is creators' creative soul;
A developer I was then,
And a poet I am now,
Ought to compare & Contrast!
Lines of code has logic in them,
Lines of poetry have magic in them;
Logical solution to a problem,
Magical healing for a problem;
Hard lines of coded instructions,
Soft lines of poetic emotions;
Programs that needs to be compiled,
Emotions that needs to be conveyed;
Input Process and Output,
Feelings Filtered and Felt;
Programs that become Software,
Poems that becomes 'Heart-aware'!
Developer a bright career option,
Poetry a charismatic life option;
Supply & Demand flux for a Techie,
Happy & Sorrow moods for a poet;
Developer well Paid, Poet 'NULL' paid;
Developer full in wealth, sick in health,
Poet meagre in wealth, smiles in health!
'Developer Poet', a trade off option?
'Water-fall Use cases' then,
'Agile Epics & Stories' now,
'Poetry Poems' for the future,
As requirement specifications?
Instructions of emotions compiled,
With semantics of sentiments,
Logic does its magical wonders,
Poems translated to programs,
Output validated for a Heart's melt;
'Heart-aware' software soup,
For eternal problems of 'SOUL'!
'Every Techie, a Poet' in his own
Right and Sense - to be at his,
Creative ever best and greatest;
Oh Techie Geek!
Discover the 'Poet' in YOU,
And write 'Heart-aware Software'!
