This fun (well it was fun for me to write hopefully for you to read) poem was written for dVerse where we are instructed to take three games from the list and use them in a poem. In typical form, I violated the rules and decided to make most of the poem game titles. If you’d like to join in, visit dVerse here.
I may try a more reasonable/ruly entry later. 🙂
Just Dance
Guitar Heroes will Candy Crush
your Farm Heroes to the Borderlands
where there’ll be Fallout for Best Fiends
while you have Words with Friends
donning a Halo, claiming
Life is Strange while talking Destiny, Doom
And Call of Duty. Your Final Fantasy
Angry Birds –perhaps starlings?–
while being Bejeweled with a Dragon’s Crown
forever searching the skies for falcon Space Invaders.

Very clever, to take so many names and turn them into a coherent piece. Very well crafted. Minecraft Ed, even…
lol Love Minecraft Ed.!Thank you, Sarah. It was fun to write. I think I still might want to emulate what you and Bjorn wrote…such exquisite writing.
Well, I wrote the prompt, so…
🙂
Great little poem Sascha, and you worked in a few games not listed in the prompt! 🙂
Thank you, Rob. When I got started, I couldn’t stop. 😀
This clever bit flows freely and pleasantly!
Thank you so much, Beverly! 🙂
Love some of the games you added to the list… (some of them are like a time capsule to the past)
I’m probably right there in that time capsule! Thanks, Bjorn! 🙂
This was fun to read!
Ohhhhh I was clipping along, admiring all the games here….and then stopped and laughed out loud at “angry birds” and then cringed thinking of the movie Birds and the knowledge of how some of those scenes were shot with the female star. She was really abused physically and psychologically and came out of the filming terribly affected.
Good write…..had never thought of the game Angry Birds like that though. Ugh.
That was fun.
Thank you! 🙂
I like the way the games seem to get out of control, as if running away with the story. Nice one.
Thank you so much, Mish! 🙂
Wow this is mesmerising . Love it .
Do find time to read mine too https://sunniesmybunnies.wordpress.com/2018/08/24/2275/
