Poem: Coding Virelai

 Ballades are my preferred poem structure, but I found this one that I made in 2018 about the difficulty of transitioning to a coding career from an editing one. It seems especially poignant now that I've been in the coding career field for a while now and just frankly... don't like it at all.

Coding Virelai

In my coding course
I sit with remorse
So bored.
This rich learning source
To me was endorsed—
Explored.
I work like a horse
To join the work force
Abhorred.

I hope my reward
Will soon be restored.
Survive.
I don't wish to hoard
Just let me afford
To drive.
Computer dashboard
Screen, mouse, and keyboard
Hard drive.

A strict nine-to-five
Is not where I jive,
I fear.
In salary i'd thrive
Instead of nose-dive
In drear.
And so I must strive
To gain a contrived
Career.
