The 'programming as poetry' idea is not original, though I'd be happy to concede you came up with it independently. Of course, (on this site at least,) the craze all began with my long since deleted felching "Trapped in Beige Curtains" - a work of extraordinary stupidity, to which the following extract will no doubt attest:

DO
Draw back the curtains
What do you see?
More beige curtains
LOOP

'Programming' is even a submittable poeme category, these days. So next time you think about having an original idea, for the love of Christ: don't. Thanks.
