I love how you ended this. Just don't DO IT, don't even BEGIN. I am such an addictive personality, I'm sure if I got hooked on games like these, it would be the end of me!!! My head would explode trying to keep up with hubbie, my chores, my work, poetry, and tv shows AND games. hahaha. Hey, you could enter this into two different contests!!

I actually wrote three for the other contest, then had to decide one for that and one for this.

This is a wonderful entry into Gwendolen's contest! I enjoyed reading this awesome poem this afternoon! I was delighted with the way you wove the positive and negative aspects of video games...they are as you described, maybe even more so! The best thing you should do is not get hooked on them...not to start them at all! What a fantastic piece my friend, Great Work!!
