Stooped in loop

Stretching around the infinite loop

clambering to a definite stoop

you walk the line

thick and thin

An algorithm

Sinister bug.

Parading around cloaked like a tree

yet bears no fruit for thee

stripped of glamour

and glory

An illusion

Misdirection

Be more than you plan to be

see more than you plan to see

Debug the code encrypted 

drape yourself with the trick

risk the risk

just enough

Be thee; stoop the loop in this tree.

Be more than you plan to be
see more than you plan to see
Debug the code encrypted.

Massage in it. Beautifully penned friend.

Very deep, sad, and well thought out piece of work, that 3rd stanza,
really got my attention, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Sindu]

Thanks a lot,James. Appreciate it :) great that it can move you.

[Jamestown]

U r welcome!

Being a programmer, I can totally relate to this one (in more than one way :P). This one is very deep and has a hint of sadness hidden within a maze of carefully chosen words.

The truth is :

boolean comeWhateverMay=true;
while(comeWhateverMay){
System.out.println("There is always hope");
}

Cheers. Loved the brevity here. Good job :)

[Sindu]

Geez, programmer! That's a cute one. Thank god I could figure it out. I'm a science person and I still remember how freaking scared I was when I gave exams for computers related subjects in graduation. Thanks, TLM. It's great you can see the sadness laced in it.

[TheLostMind]

You are welcome.. I was careful.. din't include threads.. :P

[Sindu]

Don't you dare.. It turns cute to gnarly very fast. Unless, you are mean enough to kindly give a manual to read it.

[TheLostMind]

Ok.. I won't.. In case you need a manual, you could go here : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ .:P

[Sindu]

For future references ey :P should I weaponize..

[Sindu]

Ugh! You're making me work..

[TheLostMind]

My apologies... I was just trying to be "helpful".

[Sindu]

Fine..humpff! So 'thankful' for all you did...

[TheLostMind]

No need to mention it :P

[Sindu]

Ok. I'll take it back then :) :P

[TheLostMind]

Too Late..

[Avinash]

This one is deep. But seems like lately you are involved in so much of programming. May god save you. :)

[Sindu]

I was more focused on infinity loop and then a bit on coding. But may be I should start programming with all the insights.. Haha. Thank you :)

[MomzillaNC]

Interesting and thought provoking imagery

NOTES: "striped of glamour" (did you mean: "[stripped] of glamour")

Maybe the lines in the third stanza could be tailored to fit the flow and rhythm of the first two stanzas.

I suggest breaking the last line into a couplet"
"Be thee
stoop the loop in this this tree"

[Sindu]

Thank you Momzi for the suggestions. I couldn't get them as short so I put them as it is. I will try to.

[MomzillaNC]

yw :)

[Mayank]

hahaha! it's funny, but there is a tinge of seriousness and philosophy in it. I love the way you have used the flow and have created an entrap loop.

[Sindu]

I wrote it high spirits. Serious but goofy.. I was being a smarty pants :P

[R Smith]

its amazing Sindu yet somehow has a cold feeling of emotions, although i like the encouragement to be more than you plan to be, we are always hopeful i think :)

[Sindu]

I wrote it in a sense of warmth. But I guess I was more focused on hope so yes, it is hot and cold. More like slapping and then putting salve on it. A harsh reality, haha. Thanks Richard.

[R Smith]

yes that's more what i was trying to say, guess i got pen tied lol, you explained it so well :)

[Sindu]

Hehe.. May be you need to recharge yourself.. With some photography, nature. And food maybe

[Rene Salinas]

It would find it very difficult to read this without finding the allusion to "developing". An unproductive loop is a common "mistake" although I'm not a developer so I couldn't get into the intricacies of it all but if I remember correctly there should be three condition for the loop to become endless:

A condition that won't terminate
One that can never be met
Or one that would go back to the beggining

So if--
Condition x not met
Then
Go again from...

I can't remember all the sequential gates....

The amazing thing in here, something so, let's say devoid of emotion is that you turned it into human behaviour. Not sure if to feel empahty for such good attempt or shake head in disbelief to acknowledge that we are more and more subject to becoming automatons.

Very createtive any which way.

Thank You

[Sindu]

That can be seen as well, I guess, in this. I do belong that field if work either. Your take on it surprised me and reminded of all those fun loops and gates. Thanks Rene. A harsh reality indeed where it is hard to believe and act accordingly.

[Sindu]

I do not belong to that field of work either*

[Rene Salinas]

I do I'm just not a developer per se....

[Sindu]

I'm a science person. I find it curious, software engineers- all included.
