The web's best videogame poetry
Exploring emoto versatronic expressionist pieces. And dirty limericks

You can criticise his video directing skills, but this poem by Tatterdemalion (we're guessing that's not his real name) is probably one of the best we found. Maybe it's the soothing layers of unfolding rhythm. Perhaps its because, in Tetris, this poem nails down a game close to all our hearts.
Or, possibly, it's because 99.9% of all YouTube videos are pure, cringeworthy dross, so making the discovery of an even halfway decent poetry recital stand out like a mile-high neon signpost.
