Abstract: The article deals with the special case of inclusion of a foreign discursive elements in the poetic text. This case articulated as a poems written in the form of an executable computer program. This study field does not include cases of computer generated literature, poems that takes programmers and computers as a main subject. This is a special (we still have very rare cases) connections between poetic and software form. The base of this symbiosis is that the source code of the program and the poem is text (sequence of characters). The article offers a framework for the division of poetic texts of this kind. This division depends on the degree of complexity of the elected programming language, on the functionality of the program, on the dependence of the generated text from a natural language.

Keywords: poetry discourse, poetic text analysis, programming languages
