M. L. Kiser Poet Sonnet

Modern Play

In the lives we live today;
people have more time to play.
perhaps because the toys are faster;
with video games and loud sound blasters.

Online gaming sites galore;
people are still demanding more.
Games to play on their smart phones;
they can easily just play them alone.

Exercise games for television;
at least they are, within reason.
Tablet games and movies too;
sporting games as well; who knew?

Best of all, board games are back;
and I still have the winning knack!
