Dynamo

Foreword: This is… a kind of experimental poetic form that I just thought of playing with. It mixes English with programming language. So it’s pretty nerdy on two fronts, but if you understand basic programming, it should be… interesting? I don’t know. Also, it’s not any specific language, just very basic elements.

 

include night;

while(darkness >= light){

print or make light;

echo some sound;

if(sound reverberates){

“listen close” – “close, listen”;

break;

}

make some light; print some light; end the night;

}

if (too bright){

for(i; gradually fade away; ++i){

Dim(lights);

- – Sun(decrement);

print horizon;

+ + Moon(increment);

}

echo “beautiful.purple.red.”sky fire”;

Set(Sun);

Raise(Moon);

Break.

 

Postscript: it’s about night turning to day and the sun setting and stuff. Very basic, just trying to get a feel for this new form that… I’ve never seen anyone else do. Maybe if it works better, it’d be pretty cool… I dunno.

  1. Reminds me of something one might see on XKCD, heh. But clever!

  2. ooo this is cool! :) I wish I understand programming so I could read it.

    If YWW was happening, this would be an awesome lesson to teach in the program. :D
