I don't know why I keep doing all these love poems, I guess those chapters in high school english stuck in my head for some reason.. oh well.. what do you think?
I actually learned stuff on this one, that's one of the coolest things about doing perl poetry, I can now use the seek() function and tell().. hehehe..

Not bad at all. A ++ for effort. I wonder if there is any Perl poetry that doesn't use die or my? I could lie down like a tired child, And weep away the life of care Which I have borne, and yet must bear. Shelley 1792-1822	[reply]

your poem contains a grammatical error. redo LONGING until $we = "complete"; should read: redo LONGIN until $we eq "complete";	[reply]

I don't usually vote on poems but this is a definite ++. Real cool. "sometimes when you make a request for the head you don't want the big, fat body...don't you go snickering." -- Nathan Torkington UoP2K a.k.a gnat	[reply]
