GAMES OF CHANCE

Sarah has challenged us to select
three names of games from a list
and forge them into a poem.  The
list was such fun I got carried away!

*********************

Doom follows my torchlight
down the Path of Exile
through the myst
peopled with dark souls

Is this my destiny?
Have I signed some assassin’s creed
Or made a deal with Diablo?
I quake at the thought.

God of War, spare me
Lead me to my honey mine
before the Space Invaders
precede me to the Blossom Blast.

  1. Oh I love how you made life itself a game... and i wonder if it's a level-up in the end..

  2. Great fun - lots of games! I'm very impressed by people who take on more than three - you've created a seamless narrative here. Thank you for sharing.

  4. Oh that first stanza has you on a dark path indeed! You’ve taken us with you on a journey here for sure.

  5. A very natural blending of the game words, but you had me at "peopled" as a verb. Loved it.
