Sittin’ on my couch,
Snacking on my chips,
Staring at the screen til my eyes bleed.
Looking back and forth while I swirl my stick,
Hitting those buttons I repeatedly click,
And then, boom, I’m dead.
You got lucky, kid!
Then I respawn, like all the other pawns.
I’m gonna rush back – to take you out,
When I do, please don’t pout.
Because I’m a gamer,
That’s what I do.
I’m flying all around you.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
You don’ t stand a chance,
Don’t even bother making a stance,
Hide in that corner – with all your little buddies,
You’re looking all around,
Trying to stand your ground.
You think your little friends will keep you alive,
Then I burst in with a single stride,
Bang! you’re dead, once again.
Your controller hits the ground in a fit.
Rage Quit!

- The student blog challenge, week 4: assignment 3, was to find a picture online and write a poem relating to it. I did not care to do this assignment at first; poetry has never interested me, but since I was free to write it however I liked, it wound up being kind of fun to do, which is also why what I wrote above turned out to be more of a rap/poem. I thought about trying to find some music to put with it or make some of my own to add, but I am not a big rap fan, so that was a little harder to figure out and decided not to bother with it for the moment.
G’day Ghost Soldier,
What an appropriate image for a gamer. Glad you persisted with writing the poem. They don’t always have to rhyme and have a set tempo or beat.
Would be great if you could find or create your own music to go with the poem. Here is a website I recommend for making your own music – http://isleoftune.com/
Thanks, glad you liked it. I’ll make sure to check out that music link.
Hi Ghost Soldier!
I really love your poem and how you rhymed it!
Stay cool!
