A lot of the examples here are either code written to read like English language poetry, or mention programs that output something poetic. I'm not sure this was what the OP was getting at...
I do believe code can be poetic. One sense of 'poetic' is:
having an imaginative or sensitively emotional style of expression.
It's certainly possible to use language constructs in imaginative and creative ways - often resulting in code that is elegant and unique, sometimes reinterpreting or shining an entirely different light on code syntax and grammar.
Code like this could certainly be considered poetic IMO. All art is subjective
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Definitely open to hearing everybody's different interpretations and find all of this interesting, but you're right that I was thinking along the lines of writing code that is imaginative or creative in some way and less related to writing in English.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
