100 Haiku for the Gamer’s Thumbs: 9-12

Miss the Arcade

Miss the Arcade

Sanely Yelling at the Television

I hear whispering

Of my friends who are my squad

They can hear me too

–

Wide Berth Needed

Newest type of play

Where we punch and swing and jump

A threat to all near

–

Gaming Beyond Your Walls

Finger to fresh air

Which our parents sent us to

We can game outside

–

To Know What Comes

Published to give news

Of what games are on the way

And if they will suck

    Sanely yelling at the telly… There are days when the kid really freaks me out while he’s chatting with his friends – he’ll forget to turn on the lights, he’s whispering, giggling and then shouting. And usually it’s British pseudo swearing because all his gamer friends are in the UK.

    Your haiku brings back memories, as did the movie Wreck It Ralph. I remember playing Paperboy and Pacman at the arcade. Then I got a Ms. Pacman for Christmas. I bought my first GameBoy advance back in the late 90s.
