“For every line of poetry I have to think of 10 different ways to say it, to get the exact, best right way,” Nesbitt says. “Computer programming is the same way. You want to write code that is elegant, functional and concise and does what you want to do in the best possible way.” More . . .


Now it's your turn. Write your own poem. Have fun, I did.

Don't forget to share your poems with family and friends. And don't forget to edit, edit, edit.

Have a great writing day.
