I'm a poet (published etc) and this was a treat to read. For me the parallels between coding and writing poetry are the iterative quality. As I work on my code I simplify, tighten, code share. I use expressive names, etc. I will think, "This is it!" and then discover the need for another iteration. With poetry it is the same.
