Question:*****
The White Queen
by TD Euwaite

She must move first
Thin vanguard of Pawns
Or knights leaping forward,
She’s crowded in tight with faith and family
And two turrets flanking,

She waits, unable to take a step herself, then pushes a Pawn by two.

The black Bishop
His Knight alongside riding
They wait without pity
But first, Black must front her Pawn with Pawn.

She answers, pulling faith’s White bishop into the slot to chastise

Cross or black Crown
The black King ponders…
Pawns will not quench his insatiable thirst as Power Pieces can.

He sees her there, and her actionless King
She builds a nice wall of players,
But, he will have her.

The pitched battle’s gridlocked on off-colored squares,
Nowhere for succor or solace
No part or portion off limits.

White moves, Black moves
White attacks, Black defends

Who will win, in the end, the first move offends…

Although I am not a chess player, I loved this. Very sophisticated. How about writing one poem for each piece? That would be a wonderful series....

Love the irony--and the poem as well. Even for you, this one is special!

Checkmate ...............We liked it alot

I usually get my answers wrong anyway...so here goes with another!
War! Good God! What is it good for!....forgot the singer's name.
Did war invent chess, or was chess invented to practice armies' moves?
Good going there! Good, good, 'chess' poem...if you leave out ALL the innuendos, suppositions, and 'gotchas'...heheheheheheeee...Good Morning!

Royal Strategy

Ah you gotta love the Queen. Personally, I'm a fan of the rooks.

Brilliance, The Beauty of Intelligence...

Great Work TD....It's really really Great...

and i missed the opportunity to answer your last one...the pub on mars...i wasnt here at home and by the time i returned, it was already resolved...it was really nice...and the fun would be great if we could meet Marlowe and Kyd there!

Yes, we have here the ultimate battle. One unstoppable force meeting one irresistible object, who will win? They both start with equal strengths, and manpower. Why can nations not decide their wars in this manner, and the loser go about his way in defeat. The loser could always ask for a rematch.

This is such a great and cool poem and i loved it all the way...You have a great mind T.D. ans come up with some wonderful poetry in there and on here .Bravo.
