Chapter 1: A Long-Awaited Return

It has been over a year since I embarked on the journey of merging “Swift programming with poetic expression.” After a significant break from this unique blend, I am eager to reintroduce poetry into my Swift projects. As a technical writer for nearly three years, most of my work has revolved around technology. However, when I launched my Medium account focusing on this theme, I discovered that many computer science students and programmers appreciated the fusion of poetry and coding. Now, I am excited to come back to both LinkedIn and Medium.

My aim is to craft an algorithm for each poem I compose. While I continue to hone my skills in Swift, I cannot promise perfection. If you notice any mistakes, please do not hesitate to contact me; I would be more than happy to address them.

Here’s a poetic reflection on my experiences:

In a UIViewController, once full of hue, An IBOutlet bound me to you. But life’s not static, like let or var, Sometimes, we drift, like views from afar. Finally, deinitialization was called, as classes do, Releasing memories of our love. No strong reference could make it stop, Like ARC clean up, we went our way. We hit a break inside our loop, Unwrapping Optionals revealed the truth. Our switch had cases, both love and woe, With no default, we let it go. The try and catch in our love’s domain, We Handled joy yet couldn’t manage pain. Though throw did I, my heart and will, Our love returned as nil. I once was your delegate, you my @protocol, In life’s grand scheme, that seemed so small. Now, unowned feelings, like IBActions, break, As I return to life, my soul is at stake. I leave with a commit, a final push, Our storyboard ends in a silent hush. Though it’s fatalError, hard to debug or trace, I exit(0), leaving an empty space. Still, I import UIKit in dreams each night, Wishing for the code to make it right. Yet in the console of my mind, I see, You’re an archived project, a love that used to be.
