I woke up this morning and found this as a note sent from my phone to my gmail at five o'clock this morning. I don't remember waking up...


Lurker, lurker, burrowed tight,
In the temple, lost at night,
What immortal spider mine,
Could breach thy fearful hatchery


I figure I'm going to be like Coleridge and just not finish it. Job done.

Man, being a poet is crazy easy. Bang in a bit of opium, fall asleep. Wake up... poem.

I'm at your house now man, you need to try not to be so negative...

If anyone else has any StarCraft-ed versions of classic poems I'm all ears.

Your haikus are good. I don't feel like making one. I'm just too lazy.

Hmm i recognize this. Tyger, by Blake?

EDIT: may as well contribute some haiku of my own:

DT's in my base
What a fucking imba race
All cheese and a-move

boesthius, you're hy hero,but if Trozz sees you writing haikus there's a chance he'll get territorial and challenge you to a grudgematch.

Metalopolis under a slate gray afternoon sky
The light on your face is soft and dim under the lace curtain
And the streets are empty
In the distance, there is a flash and a rumble
Vikings sail the sky like giant wooden ships
On a blackened evergreen sea
Capped with foam

Hydra, Hydra, burning bright,
On the map terrain at night,
What Immortal, Ling, or Rine
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant sector of sky,
Burnt the acid of your eye,
On what claws and spines dare he aspire?
What Xel'Naga dare seize the fire?

And what Dune Buggy,
Equipped with flame,
Could make thy heart cease to beat,
What dread hands, what dread feet?

When the stars threw down their planet cracking spears,
And water'd heaven with their blue Protoss tears,
Did They smile Their work to see?
Did They who made the Probe make thee?

Hydra, Hydra, burning bright,
On the map terrain at night,
What Immortal, Ling, or Rine
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

its a also another william blake, tyger mod

How strange that someone else would not only do something so similar, but with the same poem.

My dearest Crayons, I am undone.

O Queen! My Queen!

Adaptation of Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!"

O QUEEN! my Queen! it seems our early game is done;
The Hatch has weather'd every 'Racks, the nat we sought is won;
The Lair is near, the Drones I hear, the obs are all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the micro grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of green,
Where on the Creep a body lies,
Fallen is my Queen.

O Queen! my Queen! rise up and hear the screams;
Rise up-for you the larvae call-for you the caster streams;
For you bouquets of Terran heads-for you the Zerg's a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their savage muzzles turning;
Here Queen! my dearest Zergling mother!
This claw beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the Creep,
You've fallen cold and dead.

My Queen she does not answer, her limbs are pale and still;
My mother does not hear my shrieks, she has no pulse nor will;
The proxy 'Racks has been destroy'd, the mid-game on its way;
Our Terran foes have been deposed; our base is here to stay;
Exult, O Drones, and sing, O 'Lings!
But I, with mournful tread,
Crawl the Creep my Queen now lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!
