Disturbingly enough, I get a lot of poems that use computers, programming languages, and Internet chat rooms as symbols. I try to reject these things as quickly as possible, but sometimes a writer will use it to such positive effect that I have no choice but to admit that the poem is a quality piece. Tatiana Ivan is such a writer.
Not that all of her poems are about computers: she talks about dreams, nightmares, indecision, and the most personal aspects of life. Whatever her symbol is at any given moment, her imagery is direct, clear, and immensely satisfying.
