Poetry for gamers

The Game Poets Society attempts to fill that void and longing in the heart for video game poetry. Do you dream to write emo about the plight of King Koopa or the existential nature of Shadow of the Colossus? Let the Game Poets Society give you an outlet for your talent.

Game Poets Society creators Dan and Coop say putting your soul on display to be torn apart by your fellow poets is part of the joy and learning process, "We built the site around people being able to comment not on a forum, but on each specific poem ... we believe the ability to share thoughts on a specific poem is needed."

From the Ode to Leeroy to Clubbing Baby Seals, the society has poetry for everyone. There are even poems with leet titles about Counter-Strike. Wonder if we should have done this post in iambic pentameter?
