October 24, 2007I have been seeing loads of bloggers writings poems in their blog. I am avid fan of stories for the simple reason because they are not abstract. On the other hands poems can be more abstract than a talk on spirituality. Readers please don’t mind I am not here to make any comment on either of them or start a war of words between the followers of both worlds. They both are beautiful.
As told above I like stories but after seeing so many people writing more and more of poem I am getting inclined towards the other form of the writing. So here I present my attempt at poem writing.
I am a developer.
Working on a computer,
From January to December,
Using code debugger,
I am a developer,
Staying late at night,
With time is my fight,
Running a bug fixer,
I am a developer,
Its March and October,
Time to meet my appraiser,
Working harder and faster,
I am a developer,
Eating pizza,
Drinking Cola,
Becoming fatter,
I am a developer,
Learning Unix and java,
With all the flavor,
Forgotten how is mother and father,
I am a developer.
Lost the love for life,
Who is to ascribe,
Work or worker,
I am a developer.

Thanks for the encouragement. The poem is a satire of present system of work environment.

Nah no1 to blame. Its just that my curosity had better of me!! Seems sandhya has an EYE for good poets.
I belive your poem had lots of love care emotion where as mine is a fun filled amateurish kind of poem!!
@Vignesh
Read it as if you are a developer than you will find that its a sad story told in funny way

“Eating Pizza and Drinking Coke” keeps me warm when i sit under the AC by producing Lots of GAS.
