Author's Note: This is sort of a companion piece to The Dance of Black and White. Someone read it and asked me to do a sonnet for Pong as well, so I did. Enjoy.


Lovely are blocks that lay strewn on the ground.
Wondrous, the rainbows from heaven above.
With diamonds and rubies the earth is crowned
Glorious jewels, or pieces thereof.

They gather in heaven and fall like rain
And form a jagged, forbidding mountain
The endless mission may drive one insane
For this peak may flood one like a fountain.

Guide ye the stones with grace, speed, and with thew
Lest the great crag the world overpower
The arranged blocks will vanish like dew
That's new-formed upon morning's first flower.

Delights, wonders such as you've never seen!
The sky sheds her tears in red, gold, and green.
