Bonus Limerick:

There once was a firm from Kyoto
With brilliant guys like Miyamoto
Now with Sega done
And the console wars won
They sell cardboard. Thanks, Kawamoto!

lolplatypus: Thank you, I wasn't sure if I got them correctly.
From what I understand the aim is to evoke emotion from the obvious, without self-insertion or actually using emotional language, but just letting the pictures speak. Rather challenging in the thematic context of gaming, but fun to try.
That said, if annoyance is an emotion, I might have two more:

His hardware outdated
A soldier contemplates the shadows
That are slowing him down

On an empty beach
He finally found his voice
With laughter
With only a few words, haiku can put the reader into specific, palpable moments. I have been surprised at how clear and powerful and sentimental some of those conjured mental images can be.

loved the Limerick!


I once played a fat man so jolly,
to murder with a medic in trolley.
Now the games about hats,
rather than updating strats.
Valve this might have been a great folly.

Bank account lays thin and bare

While a haiku is fun to write
but it doesn't have the same bite
of a limerick with rhyme
and just the right kind
of subject to make spirits light.
