Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 452

For today’s prompt, write a game poem. It doesn’t matter what type of game or even if the poem is about the game (vs. just mentioning it), but there are so many possibilities: Board games, sports games, video games, and mental games–just to name a few. I hope you have fun with this week’s poetic game of writing to this prompt.

Here’s my attempt at a Game Poem:

“classics”

i’ve never done it,
but it would be the classic
move of all the moves:

to have the letters
to spell “classic” and an “s”
between two triple

word scores in scrabble
to spell “classics” as a dou-
ble triple word score.
