I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he was telling me that he was learning the guitar and writing some poetry in an attempt to get better at writing songs.

It dawned on me then that I don't have any drive to express myself artisticly. I've always wanted to be a rock star or have a web comic but I coudln't get myself motivated to learn how to play the guitar or to get better at drawing.

Being an engineer it's not very important to be artistic, however you have to be creative and you have to understand style. An engineer who isn't creative can't think of new or better ways to create something and if it doesn't have style then no one is going to want what you create.

I know I'm creative, I love to make things, things that are impressive, complicated but simple. I love to make things and to be creative but I know I haven't done something like that in a while and I feel that I need a purpose to go and do something.

I have decided to create poems written in programming syntax. They wont be the most cleaver of poems, however they should be pretty neat.

I'll post them as I make them.
