Okay, here it is, the revised version with the correct amount of lines/stanzas.

I know it is not in IAMBIC pentameter. I had a hard enough time just getting it in pentameter. (for those who do not know, an iamb is a metric foot made up of one streesed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, like the word "Sniper". And Pentameter is a line of 5 metric feet. thus, Iambic Pentameter is a line of 5 iambs, which, all sonnets are supposed to be, which mine is not because its damn hard)

Here is the new one, new stanza in bold...

Virtual Murder

I pull out my crowbar, glistens in the sun.
An enemy comes forth, soldier in my eye.
Swing in an arc, My steel and I are one.
My bar connects. It sends gibs in the sky.

I rev my gun, sound erupts around me.
My Bullets fly in a widening spray.
The spy limps as shots connect with his knee
The joyous feeling, I blow him away.

The red dot gets brighter, I draw a bead.
The rival sniper aims across the bay.
I relax the button, fire at his head.
I revel in the joy of his blood spray.

The game which I play is called Team Fortress,
Much More fun for me than any game of chess.
