Video Games Poems - Poems about Video Games

Get this show on the road

Let’s get this show on the road,
The car's still empty and we can't seem to load
Susie's applying makeup, Jake’s playing video games,
Mary’s scrolling her socials, where friends call her names.

I want to get to the airport, I want to be
clambering into an Impressionist painting of the sea
Ride the chestnut ponies, get back to something real,
My

Dunkin Reverie

I'm a pro-cyclist, and I despise people with flab
So it hurts that my folks don't walk, they'd rather take a cab.
I describe my races at the dinner table, but all they do
Is nod politely and say, "pass the stew"!

I took my nephew Chad cycling, such a pain:
As soon as we hit Salton hill, he began

The Arcade

Saturday morning
It's a beautiful day
Walking towards
my favorite hangout
A local arcade
Tons of video games to choose
I find what I like
A action-shoot
I add somes coins in
And off I go
Shooting aliens left and right
Gaining high score
I haven't lost a life yet
My score goes higher
I have a audience
They're all impress
I've reach the final boss
Time to get serious
I'm sweating, I'm

Video Games

Oh boy, video games are so fun.
So fun, I think I’ll play another one.
To some people, video games may be boring.
But to me, they’re a world of exploration.
Sometimes, video games make you rage.
That’s when we must learn to stop and flip the page
But we don’t stop playing even when we’re mad.
And the cost of time

Too Many Video Games

red tempers
lizard brains come forth
rage
too many video games

We All Have Devices

We all have devices the eight-year-old happily said.
My whole family plays them through supper until time for bed.
Video games? Sure! I play Farmer Fruity Furlough Fred.
No communication with my family and no books are read.

Brains

Cool Video games 
have circuits like brain neurons,
that shock and amaze!

Video Games and Hallucinations

After grueling sessions of
 
Guitar Hero 3,
 
I would often look to the mirror
 
to my right
 
and marvel at how
 
my vision was affected by the game,
 
with the mirror becoming twisted
 
and augmented,
 
slithering across the wall in my living room.

Look In, Look Out

i look in
they all love me
i’m surrounded by hopes and dreams
all gathered there on the screen
they all look so happy

i look out 
the sky is blue
it’s a sunny day, a lovely view
i wonder if they were here
would they be happy?

looking back down 
the window into a world that doesn’t exist 
and they walk out of

True Gamer

Where will you be
       twenty twenty
          I've got news for
     you aplenty

Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
          let me fire my missles
    

Childhood Memories

Atari, Sega
Nintendo, Playstation One
Just reminiscing...

A Witch Flits and Twists Through the Indigo Mist

A well-worn witch flits and twists through the indigo mist.
Gloating in genius, I look at my well-read list.
Bats shaken out of their sleep, come out to dive bomb.
I toast them with my dragon breath, singing a psalm.

The witch gives me a shake of her dirty little fist.
She makes me happy with her anger. I tie

Grown Up Babies Playing Video Games

So used to action
Everything fast paced
Instant gratification
Worlds away from reality

First job, too boring
Find out they have to take orders? 
No way!

Lots of cleaning. What is the point? 
Annoyed at the slow pace, the tedious repetitiveness.
Become irritated, quit. 
Thinking someone else will pay your way
For the rest of your life?

Sadly, it happens for some
Parents enabling these

Video Games

I’m over it like jump rope

Video Games

Slow steady breaths
Quick flicks of the hand
The grip of a controller in your hand
The feeling of the headset resting upon you
The sounds
The lights
The action
Oh the games you can play
Oh the people you can meet
Oh what a game can be!
