Joan McNerney: Computer Game

I just click the awesome icon.
to discover words or match jewels.

Tiles slow...a beaming box of eye candy
to pick and nibble as my score  grows.

All the petty slogs and limps of 
this withered day are beaten back.

I love my snazzy game name and avatar.
My world sits inside this small square.

I am winning.


Joan McNerney’s poetry is published worldwide in over thirty-five countries in numerous literary magazines. Four Best of the Net nominations have been awarded to her. The Muse in Miniature, Love Poems for Michael, and At Work are available on Amazon.com. A new title Light & Shadows has recently been released.
