#CodePoetry @pymwater @lie_2_me_2 @Filterraum
Definition: Poetry that is either written in the form of computer code or about code, blending programming languages with poetic expression.
Forms:
Executable poems: Code that actually runs on a computer and produces poetic output (e.g.,
#generativetext,
#visualart, or
#interactiveworks).

Code as text:
The source code itself is crafted to read like a poem—beautiful in syntax, indentation, and structure.
Hybrid forms: Poems that combine natural language and programming logic.
Example idea: A Python function that generates haikus from random word lists, or a piece of JavaScript where the comments form a poem while the code "works" silently in the background.

Sound Poetry
Definition: Poetry that emphasizes the sounds of words, syllables, and vocal expression rather than meaning or conventional syntax. It explores rhythm, tone, noise, and phonetics.
Origins: Early 20th-century avant-garde movements (like Dada and Futurism). Poets such as Kurt Schwitters (with his Ursonate) pioneered it.
Forms:
Performed: Vocal improvisations, chanting, breath patterns, nonverbal utterances.
Recorded/manipulated: Using tape, digital tools, or live effects.
Written notation: Experimental spellings and typographic play to represent sound visually.
Example idea: A poem that abandons words entirely and instead uses sounds like "bruuuh-kla-tsshh-rrrraa"—like vocal percussion, existing purely for sonic texture.
