Premium MemberPlaying Max the Ax Video Game

If I am in a crazy mood
I play Max the axe
Max has red hair and a beard
You get to be him

Enemies come at you and you axe them away
At first it is really fun, because you are winning
Got two, got six, got eight.
There is a sense of power, you get excited.

There are bad guys that

I want to kill my classmates she told me.
You don’t mean that, I said.
She shakes her head up and down. I would love it if they were slaughtered.
I am surprised, she is an innocent looking six-year-old.

You probably are just upset today with someone I suggested.
I am upset with them all, she said. I want them

Premium MemberVideo Game in My Eyes

Written by Gail DeBole on

Updated December 28, 2023

I told my eye doctor about my blurred sight
And that it had caused me somewhat of a fright.

It only took a minute for him to surmise
The problem within each of my eyes.

He said, “There is a cure. No need for alarm.
Your eyes can be fixed

Video Game

I can look everywhere.

I have video game hands.

My face doesn’t exist.

I don’t need anything else…

Except hands.

For grasping.

There are no mirrors in here.

There are no mirrors in this world.

I’d rather just be hands.

Not a face.

It always starts the same.

With three chances.

With three choices.

I try my best every time.

How Many Times In a Video Game

Can you try your luck at something in a video game?
Try as many times you can, before you inevitably explode?! 
In unrelenting anger?!! 
Especially if you were one step away from the feeling of supremacy, but
joined the fallen from one clever AI.

Welcome to the world of first-person rage. Make sure you don't equip stronger weapons

Premium MemberWhy Do You Waste So Much Time

My village is alive and well
My sheep are bleating
I have discovered diamonds in my cave
Someone calls me for supper.
Not now Mom!

I am in the throes of happiness
Inside my pixelated city
A new enemy is attacking.
“Dinner is ready!”
Whatever we are having will have to wait.

Minecraft is delightfully relaxing.
I am joyful as I annihilate the enemy.
Score!
Mom comes to

Premium MemberThe Video Game

Suppose we live in a video game world where
Somewhere, in another dimension, a teenager
Is manipulating us with a sophisticated control.
Consider, it is he who’s in charge of our existence,
Allowing us to move about at his will; and perhaps,
If he gets bored with us, he may easily zap us into
Oblivion by turning off the unit or

Premium MemberWar Between Mother and Daughter

War between mother and daughter
Queen Brahne of Alexandria shows certifiable behavior
Daughter Garnet is ready to take her down, and out if necessary
It may sound dark, but just part of a final fantasy that is begging to be released.
Mothers and daughters for centuries have been on similar quests,
annihilating each other, so they can both live independently.

Premium MemberInventing a Video Game

First of all a spider falls out of the sky
Landing on your head 
Which is not funny because it is a heavy spider!
So you fall down into a potted plant 

Wood ticks begin crawling up your arms now.
You have to use your controller to smash them
If you leave even one, you will pay later for

Premium MemberCan You Give That a Rest

I wake up screaming
Max the Axe has just chopped me into bits
It is not the first time
but this time I felt it.
I glare at my husband who is still clicking buttons.
Can you give that a rest? I ask.
He does not hear me.
He is in lahlah land
In video game world.
Being a detective
Solving crimes
Right and left.
He has

Premium MemberTwelve and Kind-Hearted

He is twelve and kind-hearted. 
I agree to try another video game because I love him.
He keeps giving me glowing reviews.
“You are doing well, grandma!”
“You got a lot further than last time, grandma!”
Sometimes I know when my spaceship has crashed and burned.
Other times I keep pushing the kill button, thinking I am still in the

Premium MemberIs My Avatar Doing Well

Grandma, I have shown you this many times!  Says my grandson Bell.
He is teaching me Fortnite.  I am not doing well. 
Bell tosses his console down and takes mine. I watch fascinated.
The video game prowess of this kid is probably underrated.

Oh, I am the guy? I ask, surprised because I thought I was

Premium MemberChain Her To the Lightpost

Chain her to the Lightpost
Chain her to the light post
By her heels
If she still wants to leave
Latch her to Big Foot's foot

I stopped typing to look at the two boys in my office
I learn more during their play than when I am trying to listen to them
I say smack her in the head until she

Premium MemberAll Apart Together

We are all in one room
Morey is playing a violent video game 
because there are blood splatters on the screen
every time I look at his I-pad.

My husband is sitting behind me watching 
a movie on a laptop.  Both he and Morey are wearing
headphones because I have dog ears.

I am trying to figure out if
