Midway Arcade
croning faster than light
from a Pac-Man curse
she streaks through tunnels
captures dots and jinxed rogues
harvests strawberries
to qualify for an extra life
while karma
swings his joystick in the dark

I think this is my favorite of yours thus far. Really made me smile...
Oh, I love those last two lines. Brilliant.
This one was so clever...loved it! Every line was wonderful on its own, but I especially loved "she streaks in jinxed tunnels, captures dots and rogues". Beautiful image, too!
Playful and smart.
The image is awesome, the hues and colors are amazing... I love the lines accompanying it. Karma does indeed swing the joystick all around, doesn't he?:)
This was sooooo cool! What a vivid imagination. Wow. What a way to use those words in such a small space!
Such a playful read! Love the way the worlds flow!! Great image!
'qualify for an extra life' - now there's a thought.
very rich and cool..
I can't decide if this is simply an observation of Ms. Pac-Man, or wholly metaphorical. Or both.
What I do know for sure is that I love the word choices and the simple aesthetic of the sounds and flow. It's a good one, all right.
What an enjoyable verse!

Joysticks in dark. Wow!!!Enjoyed this one
I enjoyed this very much...ha. Good description of Pacman, AND good metaphor if you ask me. Love it.
Excellent. Your fractal is great too.
I liked this! I was never a big video game player, but it brought back a memory of a long-ago summer. Such a fun little poem!
wow... what a different take! :)
I want to play pac man now. Great description within this compact piece. very good.
