This reminds me of some pretty neat poetry I've seen about TV shows like Star Trek and Doctor Who. It's usually humorous and you need a knowledge of the shows to understand it. You see it on "fan fiction" sites.

There's also some sites for horror poetry. I won't link it since sometimes there's shock content on there. But there are also some edgy horror genre poems. Think literary descendants of Poe, or something like that.
