Computing and Me: My story in Poem form

Computing and Me:

Let me tell you a bit about this,

so that you can see,

what it is that computing means to me.

My first look into computing came when I saw coding.

I enjoyed it since then, let me tell you so you see,

coding to me became an expression to be free.

It became another medium for me to explore art,

to use colors I’d never held in my hand,

to explore design, my choices, and if need be lay barren my heart for the world to see.

This passion was unplanned,

and I simply hoped I could withstand  so I could understand,

how this would be a part of my future.

It is important to note that I did struggle to stay afloat,

but I realized that came from the type of coding I did.

With the visuals and graphics I felt I could gloat

but the math and logic were harder for me to grasp.

But this was only the first part of my computing view,

as next came the physical, you know, part two.

Working with sensors, motors and my Arduino

I was able to create a physical version of my art.

Another part to my art which served to jumpstart

yet another passion to use to express myself.

Don’t get me wrong,

I realize I have a long way to go,

but computing means to me the things I want to be,

because I want to show one day I can be a pro,

and use it not only for expression

but to maybe leave an impression and work in succession

to design something beautiful.
