A Call of Duty haiku is making waves among the game's community as a 3rd-grade writer showcases their talent in three simple lines.

Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare, and Black Ops Cold War have an audience spanning all ages. From children to adults and even the elderly, the game has found its way into the hearts of players across the globe. Considering that Call of Duty: Warzone is free to play, it is no surprise that many different types of gamers have tried the shooter experience.

One thing that is prevalent across the Call of Duty community is fan creations dedicated to shooter games. While some players have created Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War weapon replicas, others have made postcards, hot sauces, and even the occasional cosplay. A third-grader's poem has been thrown into the mix as one fan shares a student's Call of Duty haiku.

Haikus are three-lined poems that are often dedicated to things the writer enjoys. Meant as a means of relaxation and entertainment, haiku poems are recognized across the world. Reddit user Kreuzberg13 shared this particular poem with the Call of Duty community as a student dedicated it to the shooter game. In three lines, this creative writer crafts a poem that easily summarizes a majority of Call of Duty's competitive nature. The first line includes a precise snipe along with a traditional Call of Duty insult, while the second line makes reference to a very popular "pro gamer" Call of Duty move. Finally, the last line seals in the impact with an insult many fans were not expecting.

In the comments, Call of Duty fans discuss the poem and its impact with many players inspired to create their own Haikus. Players have mixed receptions to the poem itself as some compliment its creativity, but others are upset due to its content.

Call of Duty is known to have a toxic community in some circles, and for a 3rd grader to be repeating phrases from it is concerning to some. The game is a rated M shooter that is not targeted toward that audience, after all. While the content of the game itself is already at an adult level, this poem makes some fans think about what this 3rd grader may have heard in online modes.

Despite some concerns, other players are happy that the poem is at least family-friendly. Call of Duty's community can get vulgar, and the crafty poet who wrote this could have chosen worse language. Overall, many players enjoyed the haiku, but it has raised some interesting questions regarding Call of Duty's audience and the community that plays the series.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
