<p align="center" id="header">For Jim</p>
<div id="#text">
<div align="center">
<p align="center">With hair like the vibrant, burning sun</p>
<p align="center">the closer I approach thee</p>
<p align="center">my heart begins to melt, and then </p>
<p align="center">I swoon right into a sycamore tree </p>
</div>
</div>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">The books, layouts, and prints he makes </p>
<p align="center">cause a stirring in my sacred places</p>
<p align="center">I eye his webpage till my heart breaks,</p>
<p align="center">clean of errors and non-breaking spaces</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">just like his golden demeaner, and <oh&
gt; his wit!</p>
<p align="center">I envy the t-shirt closely brushing his chest </
p>
<p align="center">Not a straying hair, dirty fingernail, or zit</
p>
<p align="center">contaminates his figure, so blessed</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">I would run for miles to the nearest Mountain, (
and then climb that) </p>
<p align="center">I would give him all the unmined gold in the sea &
lt;/p>
<p align="center">I'd draw thirty million perfect circles</p>
<p align="center">if he'd corral his wild heart, solely for me </
p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"> </p>

'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.
2) I might find it amusing if I knew something about HTML. I don't. Therefore, I don't find it amusing. Don't get mad at me just because I don't know anything about HTML. I don't imagine that most people do. I'm glad your friend found it funny..but again: HE KNOWS HOW TO WRITE CODE.
3) RE: "I'm not saying its a work of genius, but I am DEFINITELY trying to do something original. I will NOT just "write the poem," thank you very much. All poetry sounds too similar...and I am trying something new." - This sounds very pompous. Perhaps all poetry does sound similar...this is because of something called form. It's always good to try new things, but don't fly off the friggin' handle just because someone doesn't like it.
