Verse Novel Introduction

My first attempt at the intro to a verse novel. The first of many poems.

It all began with click and flash,
Mario Kart Wii dart and dash.

The room was rampant
With rotten waste.
It held an arrogant
Lack of taste.
The room's keepers
Had no haste.

Life was slow for
Victor and Tom.
Nintendo was there
Symbolic prom.
They were males aged seventeen
not called cool or calm.

Tonight, this night,
They sulked about
Their lives so white.
Victor would pout
At their pitfalls.
He would purge plight out.
