What a lovely little treat
is Poems & Codes
A treasure trove filled
With classical prose
Beautifully presented
Under multiple themes
About love and death
And childhood and dreams
Some poets you’ll know
Others you might not
But you’ll revel as you read them
Delight in their plot
Even if you’re not a fan
Of reading poems and rhyme
Solving these little ciphers
Is a lovely way to spend time
Each letter is replaced
With another random one
And when you’ve cracked the code
The poem shall be done
You can play in any order
And change difficulty
Once you’ve solved the puzzle
The poem is yours to see
This won’t be a game for everyone
Its appeal is rather slight
But give it a go and you might find
A little game that will delight
Even if you don’t enjoy
The poems in Poems & Codes
Surely you’ll get a thrill
Solving the puzzles it does bestow
A great idea, executed well
There’s hours of gameplay here
Enjoy it in one sitting
Or slowly across the year
The question you should ask yourself
Is: “is Poems & Codes for me?”
The answer is a resounding yes
If you love puzzles and poetry.
