Game Boy - Part 2

Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) was the original "Game Boy.  He invented many games, and one of his most popular games was a virtual reality past-time called "Po'tryMon" (shorthand for Poetry Man), which later became known as "Pokémon" -- and now "Pokémon Go."

Part 1 of our "Po'tryMon" post is HERE.  Part 1 includes pictures of vintage "Po'tryMon" cards for Henry Wadsworth Longfuirtle, Alfred Lord Tennta, Poekachu, Whitemander, and Shakespearow.

Below are the cards for Frostshrew, Mayaqueen, and Keatzard.

Dickinson immortalized his game in his now-classic poem "Pokemon Go, my soud, to feed thyself" (below on the left). His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "Go slow, my soul, to feed thyself" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
Pokemon Go, my soul, to feed thyself
Upon Kangaskhan’s rare approach –
Go rapid, for Competing Games
Prevail upon the Couch –
Go fearless, should Magmar’s fiery eye
Determine thee amiss –
Go boldly – for thou paid’st this price
Redemption – for such Bliss –

By Emily Dickinson:
 
Go slow, my soul, to feed thyself
Upon his rare approach –
Go rapid, lest Competing Death
Prevail upon the Coach –
Go timid, should his final eye
Determine thee amiss –
Go boldly – for thou paid'st his price
Redemption – for a Kiss –
