Tim over at the Mainframe Weblog has posted a great set of poetry from an IBM Student Mainframe Contest run over the last couple of months.

Big Iron Poetry

As part of the mainframe student contest, some of the 700 college students entered wrote a haiku. Here is a sample:

The wind blows softly
Through the leaves of autumn. wait,
That’s just the mainframe
–Van Landrum, U. of South Alabama

Life on a mainframe
Is the life I want for me
Share my C.P.U.
– Jeffrey Painter, NC State

F3 - Please take me
To a previous menu
And I will thank thee
–Marc Turnes, Northern Illinois U.

There’s a heap more of them in the Mainframe Weblog post.
