Sarah is the host at dVerse tonight. Sarah says:
Tonight, I want you to choose 3 names from the list of computer game names below, and somehow or other wrangle them into a poem. You don’t need to know anything about the game – just let the name inspire you.
Here goes:
Minecraft
Diablo
Blossom Blast
Space Invaders
Assassin’s Creed
Honey Mine
Overwatch
Portal
Doom
The Elder Scrolls
Candy Crush
Myst
Destiny
Unreal
Spacewar
Quake
God of War
Torchlight
Dark Souls
Path of Exile.
That was a lot of fun!
The Elder Scrolls
through myst,
call to me in
my path of exile.
Verdania,
now but faint
green, draws
with the plea
of The Elders —
come home.
Tao Talk 
That’s very mysterious. I want to know more…
It’s very poignant in its simplicity.

The mystery of the call… somehow when it comes from the elders I imagine the green of a graveyard.

You’re right, the elders are long gone, but the magic of their scrolls remains. Verdania is in trouble and they need their warrior…

Bang on Fantasy time; poetics that remind us of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Conan, and Lord of the Rings; heady stuff, with the game names weaved in smoothly.

Thank you, Beverly. It seems a lot of the video games my sons play have a quest of some kind that is surrounded by mystery.

You will have to play the games for more, sorry :) I actually know nothing about any of the games included, but its definitely not my genre! Feel free to build upon it. I’d like to see what you come up with…
