My friend Ron Coulson (who I’ve known practically forever) has challenged himself to write a poem a day this year. He is well underway. This is #63 of 366, because, you know, leap year.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m no poet, but the subject matter here is near and dear to me — learning! I also enjoy a good metaphor and the Viking theme here is vivid and wonderful. Overall, it struck me as fantastic and I thought I’d like to share it with you all. Ron generously agreed. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Untitled Let us devour knowledge in a way

That would make vikings cringe

Let’s gorge ourselves until we

Vomit certainties no one can dispute

Let truths drip from our chins

As the spittle of enlightenment

Lands in our opponents eyes

Raise your mugs, my friends

Then chug down life’s lessons

Until we are drunken sages

Then sleep

Then do it all again -Ron Coulson (2016)

If these words have inspired you to learn, check out the new page I’ve added to the blog where I’m attempting to keep track of some of the best coding katas. Try one out. Let me know if you have favorite katas you’d like to see there.
