Eich:
There was a lot of poetry from the aRTD comments that didn't make it into the back of the book.  Anybody up for archiving the work of our Bards?

ThisCat:
Written on page 55 of SSSS, and also exists on deviantart. It fits here as well

Inspired by and modeled after the Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a net-surf session, as I clicked without discretion
clicked through every link and banner looking for a comic score.
As I searched, my eyes a scanner, suddenly I saw a banner
illustrated in a manner unlike all I'd seen before.
"It's just the picture," I was thinking "no story can so highly soar.
Only this and nothing more."

Oh, how I was lost for ages reading all the pretty pages
watching as the hero rages when he sees there's yet a chore.
And I thought that such a treasure must be updated at leisure?
But I saw to no disleasure every day there's even more.
Quality for awe and peace and almost every day there's more.
Such skill I never could ignore.

And down below the picture-story, bright in comment-section glory
there were nice and pretty people dancing on the comment floor.
I read and saw, to my delight, for pages, not a troll in sight.
The demons of the anon-blight had never found this door.
This place of fun and stories had on bad words closed it's door.
So kind and fun for evermore.

As the tale approached it's ending, to my sorrow I was tending
with the thought that She was sending us right to the next calm shore.
For the tale I'd grown to love was just another seed to sow
for even greater tales to grow, so She'd be better than before.
"Just impossible," you say "that She'll be better than before"
And She will prove you wrong once more.

Oreramar:
Well, there's Riorlyne, who has a DA page with some fan-poems: http://riorlyne.deviantart.com/gallery/46643621/Fanart
There are two specific aRTD poems in her fanart folder:

A Dog Again

A dog again,
With your twitching ears and your tail and your wet black nose
That works again,
Snuffing the ground and around in excitement that shows
You’re a dog again;
And you bark at the shadows you pass as we go
Back home again,
You by my side with your paws sinking deep in the snow:
Just
A dog again.

Silently
We follow the road as the stars mark the closing of day,
And wordlessly
Wander homeward together with nothing to say;
Quietly,
I open the door, stumble through, in a chair find a place
And you come to me,
Lay your head on my knee and look up at my face,
Still,
So silently.

There are words
Glimmering in your eyes:
I can see them there, waiting there,
But I can’t hear them.
Just a dream
Is all that our journey was,
And waking here I find you just
A dog again.

Comes night again,
With you curled in a ball lying warm on my feet;
Dark again,
And your tail thumps out a calm, contented beat;
If I dream again,
Will you speak like you did, or will I never see
Your voice again?
Ville, Ville, tell me that you won’t forever be
Just
A dog again.

Hannu-Muffin

“I’m sad,” Hannu said, with calmness of face
(on which not a hint of 'sad' could be seen),
While recounting to parents his puppy-dog’s fate—
“Our little honey Hannu-muffin!
“How terribly awful that must have been!”

“This sadness,” he added, “I hid it away.”
(Indeed, so he did—not a tear touched his cheeks)
But his parents were almost too choked up to say—
“Our selfless, suffering, sweet, sweet angel!
“To be hurting so bravely alone all these weeks!”

“But I’ve had a friend in whom to confide!”
Said Hannu, never from Ville apart;
And Topi and Ellu rushed to his side—
“Our dearest, darling Ville-dumpling!
“You’ll be like our son now, and dear to our hearts!”

And, as a bonus (sort of?) here's a link to me trying to sing the epic poem that was in the back of the book: http://oreramar.tumblr.com/post/95950724691/a-fanpoem-sung-vaguely-to-the-tune-associated

Nimphy:
Found this by pure chance. Poem by Bellar.

One book to read it all, One book to find them,

One book to bring them all and in its pages bind them,

In the land of Fin where the comics lie.

Siddaki:
A while ago I made a document with all the typos in aRTD pointed out and explained (if it had to do with grammar) and I think I made a separate document with all the poetry I came across along the way. I'll upload it when I find it. :)
