As ill will floods all reasoning
I vow with all beings
To evoke the image of my parents
And see the Able that is my true self
The Heart and The Mind
When the heart races
And the mind follows
I vow with all beings
To accept and embrace every ill moment.
Golden Slayer
Golden sword: Nether chest loot.
Enchant at home base-
Wither Skeleton slayer
Minecraft pair
Zombies in the forest;
Creepers on the Savanna.
The familiar “‘Sup”:
An Enderman with a rose.
Minecraft Haiku
Ender eyes without Blaze rods
Traversed the Nether:
Fortresses dodge detection.
Gaming Poetry
As Night Falls
Gunning across
a square world
as night falls,
past cows and
sheep: headed
for my bed while
hostile mobs awaken
from their day-time
slumber. Simple
in design and
construction, I
am both architect
and builder. Terra-
forming to my needs:
a wheat farm by streams;
storage vault mined
into the mountain-
side so I can hoard
gold, diamonds, coal
iron, emeralds, quartz.
Mines, forests, plains
are my real domains
in this game of
pixels and bits.
A Night In A Village Library
I am an avatar in pixilated
Iron armor, holed up in a village library
While nightmares walk at night.
I create, I destroy the generated
World around my boxy hands and feet.
Teleporting obsidian men carry
Cobblestone, dirt, sand blocks,
Changing this fantasy just like me, altering
The reality until daybreak,
Where “Save and Quit” pauses
This time and The Player
Returns to the circular existence.
When the Creepers Snuck up Behind Me (A series of Minecaft Hiakus)
Exploring mine shafts
Deep underground, torch placings
Light up the railway.
Red stone vein above
Creepers sneak up and explode-
Forced down a ravine
Sentinel mob guards overhead
Two spawned Endermen
Nearby, diamond ores in hand.
Cascading waterfall beside-
A glance to lock eyes
Aggravate both to attack.
Square feet in water
Iron connects, red flashes
Reward: ores and pearls.
As Night Falls
Winter Storm Janus Haiku 2
Metallic snowmen
Some grills smile, others frown-
A person strolls by
Winter Storm Janus Haiku 1
A Dog Winter Haiku
A wet nose cuddle-
Warding from a chill winter:
Teeth naw at an itch
