More Thoughts On Poems And Code

Some great comments on my previous post about poetry and code prompted more musings on why this matters to me. Ana María Correa also threw in some great thoughts on the subject and encouragement to keep compiling a list comparing poets to programming languages. Carol chimed in with one that made me laugh then think (should she win an IgNobel?) I have a feeling there is even more to this topic than first met my eye, and appreciate the dialog and encouragement. Who knew there were so many people out there quirky enough to care about this?

In a way it would make sense that they overlap since computer programming and poetry and both art of the mind. Like the matching of form to computer languages.

Poetry and math can have some other relationships like the Fibonacci sequence http://gottabook.blogspot.com/2006/04/fib.html

Pearl, we can always count on you to bring back brain-tickling treats from the far reaches of the blogsphere. Thanks for the link. Seems a bit OuLiPo — might serve as an interesting class exercise.
