Checkmate

by Kuro   Dec 20, 2009


First move, test them out
send in the pawns don't commit
show them that you're formidable
with cunning and wit

An eye for an eye, A Rook for a Knight
My Bishop is trapped, Continue the fight
A minor set back, It's time to regroup
Formulate a plan For another coupe

My Queen is now lost, With most of my power
Power pieces few, Defenses cower
It's my turn, my move, Why hesitate?
Each choice I make Seems a mistake

Wait for checkmate? Or just give up?
Strategy failed, I ran out of luck
How will they remember The game I played?
Struggles endured, Prices paid

The game has been played. I cannot complain
Though it seems to have Ended in vain
Pushed back to a corner Don't mourn when I'm gone
This is not checkmate, Just another lost pawn

    I really like this :) my favorite part is "The game has been played. I cannot complain
    Though it seems to have Ended in vain" . I think it's funny how we both named a poem check mate. i like how you used all the technical terms from chess.
