My quest is to write a haiku about every game I have ever played. This could take a very, very long time. I thought I was being original when I started this list, but it seems other people have done the same. Oh well, at least my haiku will be 100% original.
Because of problems formatting line breaks, I will punctuate the end of every line for the sake of readability.
