Best Video Games Poems

There was a loud explosion, followed by shouts of glee
The rat-a-tat-tat of gunshot, was suddenly surrounding me
It was much to my horror that my husband bought the game
And to watch my boys playing it, nearly drove me insane.

They blew things up, they shot at them,...

Eyes glued to screen
Ignore homework of teacher 
Down load video game 
Some rich becomes a tycoon 
Cost younger generation

I look back on my life, what do I see,
a life time wasted playing video games.

What I didn't know then, I can understand now,
living  a false sense of fulfillment because I lacked satisfaction in myself.

What started as fun and games ended up a place...

Are they tame?
Our children who were sweet
Become anxious,
Stressed, 
Obnoxious,
Controlled,
And upset
When they can't figure out the next frame.
They'll throw controllers, yell
And kick things as if under a spell.
In a blur they'll go to the internet
Looking for cheats
That let
Them beat 
The boss to prove their fame.
God help...

Video Games

Not my choice I know, but I take the blame 
The hours they spent on a computer screen
Sent spears through my heart and caused me to scream

A necessary evil, my husband did say
They can learn from these things...

When one begins
and picks up the controller
he hopes he wins
but most become bipolar.

they think they are the best
they hope and pray,
that they are better then the rest
but most are in disarray.

they continue for hours
doing nothing but staring
but what it does is devours
while they sit there...

dead on the inside rotten one the outside
should go and hide but hindered by my pride
try to be unique but treated like a leper
standing tall but crumbling under pressure
take a look and you’ll see its a charade
marching like pro lifers at a pro choice parade

I was playing my Nintendo
controller in my hand
I guess I dozed off
to Mario Kart land

It was Donkey Kong Stadium
I was in the lead
no one could catch me
as I reached maximum speed

Approaching the finish line
I heard a thundering squreech
slamming into the back of me
was my opponent...

It begins like any teenage romance movie.
They’re at a party. Music is playing on the speakers.
She’s been smashing buttons as Mileena and chomping through skulls.
“Who’s next?” she dares a challenger.
He approaches with no mercy in his eyes.
Raiden vs Mileena. The battle is back and forth.
In...
