That’s why we decided to grace you on this beautiful Friday with a few little poems inspired by PopCap characters. Some are sprinkled with PopCap joy, while others are burning with existential angst. Each of us wrote one, and we are all extremely proud of them.

And if you have one of your own to share, add them in the comments section. Because, at least for today, we love haiku!

 

Jeff

Blue chuzzles in flight
I just popped you and you’re gone
Are you home, or dead?

 

 

 

Julie

Stressful solitaire
The countdown is bugging me
Cannot think clearly

 

 

 

A.J.

Chuzzle, chuzzle, chuz
zle, chuzzle, chuzzle, chuzzle,
chuzzle, chuzzle, chuz

 

 

 

Curtis


My dearest Bonnie:
Your heart, an open bookstore;
Mine, an e-reader.

 

 

 

Dana

Prehistoric eggs
Looming, steadily encroach.
Quick! Whirley’s coming!

 

 

 

Philip


What are you doing
With all the c-clamps I find
Hidden Object game?

If you do, and turn around three times, and say chuzzle 12 times, you will turn into a chuzzle. And now you’ve been warned.

Even more surprising is that we have managed to keep to it for the past couple of weeks. Because today is my day and because last week I volunteered for this day not knowing what I would write about but fully confident that I would have something to write about, it sat on the calendar as “Philip – Random Content.”

Well if 12 years of parochial school taught me anything it’s, “Do what you’re told!” So in the spirit of randomness (and to honor the legacy of Sister Catherine Sullivan) I decided to wander the halls of PopCap Games and try to pay attention to the many random things that I pass every day and take for granted.

Hiya, boys!

None of these people is celebrating a birthday today. I guess if they keep these up long enough, they will be correct again.

Where chuzzles come from. Or, to keep my copy editor happy, from where chuzzles come.

Not sure what that thing on the right is, but I’m pretty sure it could win a prize in any steampunk costume contest.

Somewhere, Gene Krupa* weeps.

*According to Wikipedia, Gene Krupa was an influential jazz drummer who was born on Neptune and lived to be 137 years old. Note: some of that may not be true.

Oh, for a disc-drive large enough…

GAH! What the-?

“They also serve who only stand and wait.”
