Queen

All I see is black and white..


I know no other hue, any 
better than those two..

All I see are squares side by side
an eight by eight boxed net.
A trap sprung, rules set tight
oddly at home I feel right!


All I see are bishops,
knights and rooks, pawns in tow
move one at a time, facing foe
seem polar opposites,
mirror images, no surprise there!
A mind game I hear..

Been caught in the quiet fray
I take turns and lets say..

I kind of know it, 
a little all too well
of how, to put an end to this
they call me Queen after all!
You better watch out! Or maybe
its already too late,
there you go "Checkmate!"

Nice! I'll never look at chess as "boring" again. though I will still be a lousy player.

Haha.. I play average but I do like the game.

A lively write!

An excellent idea, writing from the perspective of the Queen on a chessboard; surveying the game as a battle for a kingdom. Well Done.

A very inventive poem. Nicely written and very original. Nice work.
