I had a few minutes to play today at work. I haven't written in a long time, but I figured I'd try my hand at perl poetry again. This one is short, but I think its ok. Its more english readable than anything. It doesn't really do anything special with perl, and doesn't translate concepts from programming as idea in the poem. I just think it reads nice. Feedback welcome.

use threads;
use threads::shared;

our $life : shared;

our $souls = threads->new(
        sub#mit
        {
                our %selves = ( to => 'eachother' );
        }
);

$souls->join;

our $love = sub#ject
{
        our $hearts = 2;# joy
        our $fears = undef;
};

&$love;

die and $souls->join;#forever

passes strict and warnings, doesn't do anything nifty or anything though. I'll work on that one day.
