Recursivity #1 - Koch Fractal

Launch the poem. Fork it on GitHub.

I’m starting out a new series of programming poems using the idea of recursion. Recursion is done by taking the output of the previous operation as the input for the new operation. Lots of really crazy and interesting complexity can happen because of it. This is how fractals are generated.
