    Jeff does remind me that we should always google a title before you use it, just to see where/how it's been used before.

    Hello Jeff Mantel. Oh, no, I don't think this is about a video game.

  • jeff mantel avatar

    Interesting point of view John Allison; has this anything to do with the video game of the same name?

    Very good, thank you for sharing!

    Very imaginative - the sudden shifts in the plot can be a bit confusing at times but it is a very innovative piece of writing!

    Thoughtful poem, the longer lines at the end spoil the rhythm a little though abby lee

  • Alexandra Neon avatar

    Interesting poem - the idea that no matter the situation they are never satisfied.
