Lines – Dots- Forms by Dale Innis on Midjourney
Code Park
Rain or shine it’s always dark.
Relaxing, I see two lines of code
discussing their engineers.
They make meticulous jokes,
but only another line of code
might see the recursive humor.
Python strings slither and slide
a little smug..
they slip down the crevasses
smoothing textures as they play.
Their playground is shifting
as they drop down.
Good mirth and then they all spot
the efficient beauty…
the simple but perfect code that
does so much…
with so little.
Oooos & Ahhhhhs
lines and dots
zeros & ones
“Wow!! Who wrote her??”

* Thanks to Dale Innis for this inspiring image and a few extra geeky word suggestions.
Another thing (an LSL code) Dale inspired me was done 10 years ago and made into a Randt & Hoisan short video poem you might enjoy seeing HD and turn up sound:)
Clever, cute, fun! <3 😀
~David
if line == ‘done’:
break
print line
print ‘Done!’
🙏🌹David🌹🙏
Oooo Karima! This is a whole new side to you and I’m just loving it!!! That final stanza is just WOW! The last line had me rereading the whole piece again. I love the cleverness and uniqueness to this one. It’s always a treat to see where you take Dale’s images but this one was especially fun as it was a new avenue in your writing that I truly enjoyed!! Keep following that poetic flow and life force, my friend…it’s taking you to beautiful/glorious places 😘🤗🤍
Awww thanks dear Grace…this was kind of a personal challenge to me. I picked 4 images that Dale sent me, that I really liked and was drawn to, one was the sax player, post before, this one and two more. I realized this would be a hard one to put into words..smiles, but it turned out to be just the thing for a few lines of code out taking some time-off at their nearest park. Dale encouraged me to use the words ,”recursive” and “efficient” I had taken almost a year of Python, but never did anything with it. Well at least I learned to “think” like a line of code heh heh. So glad you enjoyed this little “Time Out”
You always find things in my images that I haven’t seen. And they’re always new and different, too! Don’t know how you do it. 🙂
I think I am very lucky to be fed your amazing images on a steady basis. You know it’s my pleasure to riff off of your creativity…. Been doing it for years
Amazing creation of dots and lines. And thoughts beautifully rhymed. Also welcome to visit my travel – lifestyle stories on my blog. Thanks. Bliss.
Thank you Bliss…. Will do
An interesting take on coding, humour is definitely needed if you work in coding. I find it hard to get excited about coding but unfortunately also necessary to understand at times.
Thank you so much David. I took a year of Python, but in the end discovered, I was not a natural.. I love languages and it is a language, but I had to work too hard at it. If you revisit this post, I added a video we made 10 years ago..about a code that Dale wrote…but it’s a poem:) Hope you enjoy it
Yes A great video. Thanks for adding that link
This is unique, just like you, Karima! Coding apart, you’re an expert in connecting dots. Your collab with Dale is going well. All the best😊❤️💐🙏
Awww thank you so much and you made me laugh with your connecting the dots:) Glad you enjoyed..I added another little coding video Nat and I did 10 years ago..you might enjoy. It’s on the bottom of the post. Thank you always!!
Who wrote her indeed Miss Karima! It comes down to who wrote who. The code playing and making jokes. What is it up to? Very Sci Fi. As always, extremely creative!
Awww thank you Hoyt!! I did a poem to this image as a challenge because it was so abstract! I actually think it would have made a great park for playful code:) I miss you!
Love the opening lines of this piece and the imagery it evokes, especially in conjunction with the featured image and the narrative of this poem. <3
Thank you Layla for stopping by…actually this is not my first poem about code, but the other we made into a short video back in 2012 about the code used in Second Life LSL https://youtu.be/L4ckxTT9ZCw we wrote it about a script Dale Innis wrote for people to follow each other:) way back in the day…Thank you so much for your feedback on this poem .
Amazing dear Karima.
Love this piece Karima.
xoxo
Awww thanks Gabriela.. it felt like a small intermission from my spoken word pieces:) When you have time, check out the video below that Nat & I made 10 years ago, An Ode to Code called “Follow me!” It was one of our first collaborations and it holds up even today:)
My pleasure hon. I will. I look forward to.
xoxo
Love the opening lines of this piece and the imagery it evokes, especially in conjunction with the featured image and the narrative of this poem
Thank you so much Max for leaving me this comment. I am thrilled you enjoyed what I did here:) Welcome to my blog!
I love the perspective and playfulness of this poem. Well done!
Why thank you so much Conny. I’m glad you found it entertaining! 🌹
Really interesting point of view here. I love how you interpret the playfulness the poem speaks about. That’s great writing! Notice that others saw that too. I like how many levels there are with your poetry: visual, musical/audio/, and written. You really bring together so much seamlessly.
Thanks Ben, and your comments make me feel very seen and that feels wonderful..Also it inspires me to use all those visual, audio, musical effects to their best advantage in telling my stories o developing my poems. You are a keen observer and that is why your comments are great encouragements for me. Always nice to have you visit me:)
You’re welcome! It’s nice to see the places your creativity goes. I can always tell that you’re challenging your boundaries, and going in new directions. That’s the mark of a true artistic genius! Keep it up!
Thank you for believing in me Ben:)🤗
Always 🙂 And you’re welcome!
This is fun, and actually reminds me of the truth behind the trees, and other things we see. We are like the dots, and lines, and zeros and ones, a part of a very special dance. Lovely write, Karima. Have a wonderful weekend. ❤️🌹🤗🙏
Thanks so much Jeff, and enjoyed your commentary. Yes in the end we are but many strings of biological code, all kept safe in our DNA. Have a great weekend too Jeff and thanks for dropping by:).
You’re most welcome, Karima. Always. Thank you, my friend. 🙂
Amazing !!!!! ,,😌😌😌☺️☺️
Thank you so much. Welcome to ny blog Vortex
Incredible piece Karima … you broke the code and we are all of your followers. So creative and unique in filming, words and delivery. 🥰
Thanks so much Cindy..so glad you watched Follow Me!! That was one of Nat’s and my first collaborations and just about the time I ran into Dale and his great script:) That was a fun one to do…The wonderful visuals were Nat’s brilliance at work… So glad you enjoyed it
It was a gift and love seeing your collaborative efforts and talent! 🥰
Hugs 🤗
😘
