Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem about video games.
Gamer Am I
Many interests have I,
Reading, writing, drawing, listing to music, and singing, but I,
Truly love to game!
A gamer is my name!
Running,
Shooting,
Bludgeoning,
Building,
Interrogating,
Questing,
Spell casting,
Pilfering,
Sailing,
Exploring,
Relic defiling,
Puzzle solving!
I am a gamer,
Not many understand, it's unpopular,
Amongst society,
But I am mighty!
I am self sufficient,
At life, I am efficient,
I bead, and sew my own clothes,
And to a love, I've made oaths.
I am frugal, and loyal,
Have a job, and am cordial,
And have real life friends,
That on me, they can depend.
I go outside, eat fruits and veggies,
And am soon to start my own costuming business!
I have been learning,
About pain, love, life, my identity, and am yearning,
To let the world know,
Who I am and show,
My true colors.
I am not a worthless, loser with no life,
Though with me you might have strife,
Let me live my life.
I have such wonderful memories of playing games,
The choices I've made within the games,
The funny names,
Of some people in the online multiplayers,
And the levels and layers,
Of 2d scrollers,
And the memories of friends coming over to visit,
And sit,
And laugh, cry, gasp, and play.
I am a gamer night and day,
Even when I don't play.

It's Only a Game
People who say,
"Video games are to stupid"
Are people to stupid to play
People who say,
"Video games are to violent"
Have never known violence
People who say,
"Video games are to sexy"
Desperately need to get laid
I say,
"Video games are only games
So, just shut-up, sit-down and play
Or get your pious ass out of my way!"

In the machine
Human but part automation
Platform that you play upon
PS4 thats home sweet home
Real life, all in there to load
Fantasy, reactions claws are sharpen
Doorstep quest that now swings open
All my characters, full of life
And push the play, adrenaline download we crave
Here we go driving with sound effects
In the war zone in the traffic
All the action it is frantic
Somthing with a sense of rush
Not lightweight like Candy Crush
Bored housewives with potato chips
Spin the roulette wheel to get their kicks
World of Warcraft all your kingdom and your throne
That convention is a must have show
A, T shirt to wear with pride
Allegiance never compromised
In your soul and in your being
Now are part of that machine
Platform that you play upon

My Video Arcade Wet Dream
It was after I opened my eyes that this
dude was standing naked in a video
arcade and no one had even seen him piss.
That was before I made myself walk right to
a nude chick playing the Frogger game before
she looked at me and said, "I want a fuck, too."
She held on to the joystick while that one chore
of anal fucking her was being done by
me until I shot cum deep into her core.
But then, I woke up with my cock not so dry
and I had not one single idea why.

All 8 Bits Glued Together
I lust after that pixel annihilation,
To separate myself into color blocks,
Constituent parts related but not whole,
Incapable of meaning.
When I was younger, I would drink myself stupid
And reverse the world’s laws,
Hit pause on entire days
And live impossible lives, disassembled.
Realities bled together,
Essence and format confused,
And now, I chase those days like a Mushroom Kingdom bride,
Always in another castle,
All 8 bits glued together.

Hadouken!
Let me take it back to nineteen ninety one,
A seventeen year old having lots of fun,
Over to Tommy’s, the local burger joint,
It was a hangout place for my friends and I,
After band practice the hours would go by,
We played street fighter ‘til we ran out of coins.
The arcade experience was a different kind,
Talking with friends, spending a lot of time,
Dishing out quarters playing the silly game,
I could never get Ryu to play the way I wanted,
In each match I’d get clobbered and clotted,
I was so bad my friends gave me nicknames.
But now the old arcades have dissappeared,
And it’s all just like I had once feared,
Everyone has retreated to their homes,
Now no one will come out to fight!
So to the old gamers I yell, Unite!
But no hears me, so I just send them poems.

You are very welcome guys, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I was a little unsure, since this was my first competition to host, but I think I will definitely host some more competitions later, it was a lot of fun. Congrats to Eerie on the win! 😆
