Since the days of Pong and Space Invaders, creative gamers around the globe have always found new and interesting ways of expressing a love for all things pixels and polygons. From intricate artwork to gaming tatoos, fan fiction novels to cosplay, the opportunities to embrace these fantasy worlds are limitless! Here at TeeChu we love a good poem or two, and Creative Director Suzie has written a few! To celebrate National Poetry Day 2016, here are a handful of video game haiku poems to tuck into.
So just what are video game haiku poems? Well, a haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry made up of just three lines. The tricky part, however, is that the first and last lines of a haiku have five syllables and the middle line flowing with seven.
