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.
A blog for the midnight epiphanies and idle thoughts of a hopeless wordaholic.
Oh I love how you made life itself a game... and i wonder if it's a level-up in the end..
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Bev!

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.

I like the dark essence this seasons your poem with!
Oh that first stanza has you on a dark path indeed! You’ve taken us with you on a journey here for sure.
ReplyDeleteA very natural blending of the game words, but you had me at "peopled" as a verb. Loved it.
