Chess Poem by Dennis Go

Chess

Rating: 5.0


I played the game with a smile.

Pawns suppressing the move
Made by my hand for the king.
A mistake, and it's all over.

Checkmate.

The king couldn't move neither direction
For the opponent's difficulty,
But rather an invitation of defeat
Spurned with soldiers left looking
At a king's dethronement.

No more.

I lost to a mere
Enticement
Of a Queen.

I lost to a mere Enticement of a queen. Yes, indeed the queen... The logistic in chess is expressed here for comparison with real situations ...the player needs solutions for both problems... Wonderful abstract poem belonging to symbolism.. 10/10 from Mari

Wow, Dennis, what an excellent poem, these principles of chess playing can also be applied to life, one soldier can win the war...One mistake can ruin the whole game...One mistake and you have to start all over again, learning from that mistake...I did, the hard and painful ways, but survive and started a new game...That is life manifesting itself...Well penned poem, I love it, excellent, keep it up! You got a way to go...You got a great talent, you showed to me, now, show to the entire world...10+++ Love and Peace, Romeo
