If we choose your poem (there will be five winners), you&#8217;ll get an autographed, personalized copy of Ethan Gilsdorf&#8217;s road trip through geek subcultures, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethangilsdorf.com\/\">Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms<\/a>, now in paperback.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, Ethan also a poet. So Geek Mom thought it\u2019d be cool to ask you to offer a verse or two. Be it free verse, a limerick, a sonnet, a haiku, or a villanelle or rap &#8212; no matter, as long as it speaks of geekdom, pick the subject that will bring out your best. (No need to rhyme, either.) Just enter your literary masterpieces in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekmom.com\/2010\/11\/geek-author-ethan-gilsdorf-talks-names-games-and-giveaways\/\">comments section below this Q&#038;A<\/a> with the author.
