POETREE

Ha. This reminds me of one of my favourite projects - I once wrote a (functional, compilable and code-correct, though the body was somewhat nonsensical) Shakespearean sonnet which ran to print a haiku (which was much better poetry). Code and poetry play interestingly together, I think. It fascinates me, how much 'writing code' is a creative process but how little people think of it as such.

dawn over the lake;
waves break yesterday's bottles
against the concrete

#include "early_morning_run.h"
int main(void) { int spanish_wine = 0;
char first_beat[] = "dawn over the lake;";
int alcohol_age = 21;

char epaulette[54] =
"waves break"; char *no_fuss; // empty as yet
if (alcohol_age < 34) {
no_fuss = strcat(epaulette,

" yesterday's bottles");} spanish_wine++;
printf("%s\n",first_beat);
printf("%s\n",no_fuss);
char end_line[] = "against the concrete";

printf("%s\n",end_line);
printf("\n"); return spanish_wine;}
