Ok, my poetic sense is the lowest of the world, but I think this is
not poetry, but meta-poetry. In as much as that "stanza" term refers
to poetry, which it doesn't, in this case ; it is reused in some
software systems to denote just some section of configuration
(usually) text.
That said, some code exhibit poetic value, and some comments may also.
But I find it rather more like mathematical beauty than like poetry,
which as I said I'm quite unable to appreciate anyways, so I'm no
authority on that subject.
