Pokémon Mew | Mew, Mew, Mi Secret Fren’

  Pokémon Mew | Mew, Mew, Mi Secret Fren’

This poem was created for Humanitarians "Lyrical Literacy" project (https://www.humanitarians.ai/lyrical-literacy) and  explores legendary Pokémon Mew through Caribbean patois-infused verses that blend gaming nostalgia with folklore storytelling. The piece transforms the elusive digital creature into a mystical entity that exists between code and imagination. Through alternating poetic styles inspired by e.e. cummings and Shel Silverstein, the narrative captures how Mew transcended its status as a hidden game character to become a shared cultural myth among gamers. The lyrics reflect on how this "secret friend" wasn't officially meant to exist in the original games but became real through players' collective belief and discovery of the famous glitch that revealed it.

Mew mew
Wagwan gyal where yuh dem go

Mew mew mi secret fren
Yuh hide weh di game cyant end
Myth an’ data dream an’ scheme
She di pink one weh slip tween stream

Di mew of maybe
Code inna hush tone
A blinkin breeze
Dat never plan
Fi be known

Dem check beneath di pixel truck
Dem mash di buttons pray fi luck
No sprite pop up screen cyant talk
But still dem swear dem see she walk

She drift tween code and breath
Lullaby riddim dodgein death
Just likkle flicker
Dat softly show
Di ting dat gameboy never know

A tech yout wid sly lil grin
Slip mew in code hid her within
Dem neva plan fi she to stay
But ghost cyant leave when kids dem play

Not built
Jus dreamt
Not drawn
Jus felt
A likkle pink parentheses
The size
Of self

Mew mew mi secret fren
Yuh hide weh di code cyant end
Myth an’ glitch real or seem
She di pink dot weh slip tween dream

Mew mew under di tree
Code or nah yuh real to mi
