Robert James Liguori Poet Free verse

DnD Dream City of Death

I entered the game…
And was confronted with Wraith
It was my job to avoid the Death Shriek
Which I did 

But next came the Gargoyle
Which was elemental
I slid from his tactics 

An undead Ghoul approached me
Must look out for his bites and claws 

Then with an attack of +7
Came the Rat Swarm
I fought for the experience points

Oh no vermin! Spider 
The web is the worst

Can you even believe an undead Zombie
Armor class is 11

Reptile; Kobold Skirmisher
Damage only one

My greatest fear…
The Blazing Skeleton
But my dice tops well

The skeleton only though
Has scimitar and slice
Yielding two experience points!

And lastly is the wolf
With bite or pounce 
It’s okay. I’ll defeat him too. 

And win this game.

David Crandall January 16, 2026 at 4:28 PM Wow, sounds like an adventure and a tough day - death shrieks, gargoyles, ghouls, rat swarms, spiders, zombies, reptiles, blazing skeletons, and wolves - not as bad as a day at work, but still pretty bad!

Andrea Dietrich December 11, 2025 at 12:05 PM I don't know the appeal of these things but I guess if one understands it all, it can become addicting, like so many other things people enjoy. How often do you play these games?
