Not in anger
Not in wrath
The reaper came today
An angel visited
This gray path
And took the cube away


You remember this gem from portal? It's actually a rewrite of a famous poem about flowers, but that's not the point. It inspired me to write my own 'portal poems' that I could see being scribbled on the walls in that game. I invite you to write your own, and please check mine out.

These two links are the same poems but different sites, please comment and rate.

Since you people refuse to click those links I'll post them here, but I'll hunt you down and killz you if you steal them, I have them under copyright anyways. Sue timez?

Please go rate it in the arena though. D:

Four score and seven minutes ago
My cube was gone, I'm naught but woe
And in this box of me and sad
I know now, I'll never be GLaD
--
O mine box with perfect dimensions
Why hath deny my romantic intentions?
I'd like to cut free these hard wired tensions.
--
With gun in my hand
I do leaps and do jumps
Now throw up in air
From vertigo made lumps
--
These beans, these beans
These magically made fruit
I know not were they come from
But I eat, and I root.
--
I know not if the sea is boiling hot
Or if it is night or day
All I do now is sit on my porch
"Hey-Hey!--Hey-Hey!"
--
"Are you still there?"
I do not know anymore
Come now and gone by
Was my dear sweet Lenore
I guess now I shall bar the door
And stay here--
Quoth the Raven "Forevermore"
--
Welcome to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center
We take good things and make them better
But if you happen to break down and cry
On the floor you shall forever lie.
--
I have each portal
One orange, one blue
They can only be multiplied
By numerals of two

I use them to hide
And use them to jump
But now I degrade
To a small orange clad lump

These tests and these trials
They tear at my brain
How now shall I end
The overlords reign?
I guess I may die
And never move again
--
I looked in the end of the gun
There was nothing but wires and lead
I'm starting to wonder if what she said
Is trying to wind me up dead.

Maybe she's trying for fun
But I'm not so easily read
That woman, that beast, she will now dread
To wake up and find, me clutching her head.

There once was a buggy AI
Who decided her subject should die.
When the plot was uncovered,
The subjected discovered
That sadly the cake was a lie.

PS: I didn't write this.

lol I didn't think of anyone here at Valve gaming who would actually be skilled poets and/or make poems related to valve stuff.
