Use the following Binary to text translator to find the meaning of the binary code in this poem.

Each line has eight characters right them down in the order you find them in the line, for example the first line would be 01101100.  Go to:  

https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/binary-to-ascii.html

and enter the numbers from each line for an entire stanza, leaving a space between each line (each eight characters) then hit the convert button.  The binary in each stanza creates one word.  The binary in the last stanza can be copy and pasted in the translator to get the final line of the poem.  Do the same with the binary in the title to get the actual title of the poem.

this is very clever, but I still do not understand the conversion thing you said at the end of yourexplanation box. An interesting write, my friend.

Is it indeed, James? Very clever. I spent thirty years in I.T, glad you never wrote in hex :)

I'm a lowly computer repair man Viv. Anything more complex than 0s and 1s (which by the way I don't write, luckily there are wonderful converters available) and my brain freezes and I have to reboot myself (not a pretty sight). Hex would send me into an eternal loop that my brain would never be able to recover from. Thanks for the comment, it made me smile. (Thirty years, impressive.)

Thanks for the visit Nancy. This one took a while to complete. By the way, the title (if you haven't figured it out) is binary for "01" which is the name of the poem.

Very clever James!

Line, hi, thanks for the wonderful comment. Because of the restrictive nature of the write, I'm afraid the flow and terminology suffered somewhat. It was meant to be a Shakespearean Sonnet but to make the binary work it was not possible. At least it is a sonnet.
