"Poetry" is in the eye of the beholder; it could be any of:
  • Poetry written in Perl
  • Using perl to generate poetry
  • Poetry about Perl/PerlMonks

    #!/usr/bin/perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; my %heartHolds = ( Soul => "Heart holds a pride-less lion\nwandering the desert,\nan achi +ng hunger for closure\.\n", Pride => "Nourishment from false beginnings,\nthe pride-full fall\nstu +mbling toward the next end\.\n", Revelation => "The pride-less lion sits tall\nlifted by mid-day dunes\ +npresented to one High Light\.\n", Release => "The hunter offers his own heart\.\n", Renewal => "Split by pride\.\nBlistered by the journey\.\nNow, a new p +ride\.\n", Whole => "They become Him and He closes the beginning\.\n", Incomplete => "Feeding brings hunger\.\nHunger sets forth the hunter\. +\nThe well fed starve alone\.

Nourishment from false beginnings, the pride-full fall stumbling toward the next end. The pride-less lion sits tall lifted by mid-day dunes presented to one High Light. The hunter offers his own heart. Split by pride. Blistered by the journey. Now, a new pride. They become Him and He closes the beginning. Feeding brings hunger. Hunger sets forth the hunter. The well fed starve alone.

    Like many people I've had a go at writing poetry but never tried a haiku before. So here is my first attempt on the subject of Perl.

    A thing of beauty
    From which oyster did it spring:
    This brilliant Perl?

The World of Perl

    Oceans of code produce mountains of scripts,
    we follow the road as our application ships.
    Give it a whirl, I think you'll find,
    working with Perl expands the mind!

    Perl laps at my mind... Much like a summer pond's waves, Cool upon the shore.

    Voting Booth?

    My favourite poll on PerlMonks is ...

    Your first Perl Book - the first one ever
    Average number of caffeinated beverages per work day - the poll with the highest participation
    My Thoughts on the New Voting/Experience System - the poll with the fewest votes cast
    When I grow up, I want to be: - one of the polls with the fewest options
    Perl 6 will primarily be: - the first one on Perl6
    When I see a poll - one of the many polls about polls
    this poll ;-)
    yet to come
    none - I hate polls. Bah.
    some other
