About Roses and Violets

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Unexpected '{'
On line 32.

I searched for a bracket,
A missing '}',
Certain I’d find it.
In code I once knew.

The tests started failing,
The build turned bright red,
Warnings kept shouting.
Inside my head.

Stack traces were rising,
The logs screamed “not true!”,
All that I changed.
Was a comma or two.

I scrolled through the chaos,
Each function, each view,
Convinced some small monster.
Had quietly grew.

Midnight grew closer,
My patience withdrew—
One tiny typo.
Can split life in two.

Then there it was,
Hiding in plain view….
A bracket misplaced.
By a space or two.

I fixed it. I saved it.
The green checks broke through.
Roses are red—
And debugging… feels new.
