I still haven't figured out how to write a perl poem that also
does work (and am quite jealous of Craig Counterman, who posted
a useful perl poem here a while back), but here is my latest:
#!/usr/bin/perl
'love was'
&& 'love will be' if
(I, ever-faithful),
do wait, patiently;
"negative", "worldly", values disappear,
@last, 'love triumphs';
join (hands, selves),
pop champagne-corks,
"live happily-ever-after".
"not so" ?
tell me: "I listen",
(do-not-hear);
push (rush, hurry) && die lonely if not-careful;
"I will wait."
