Poem
life is like a game of chess check each move you make your opponent can be the devil incarnate with an angel close by, helping and guiding you your moves in life, you decide what you have to do can be the king, lording it over just a few or a lowly pawn, usually losing out why not be the Queen, loved and defended without doubt looked to and admired with so many friends about a knight in white armour willing to live lifes dance your moves are watched by all nothing is left to chance your hopes of happiness and a loving romance don't run with the devil by committing a sin the tower of love you cradle your hopes within cracks and fades as living life kicks you on the chin nothing is perfect in the board game of life's chess the monopoly game is more fitting I guess freedom, move about, buy houses, travel, sounds best remember the fate of lifes gaol waits, if you fail nothing is perfect in the board game of life's chess a knight in white armour willing to live lifes dance or a lowly pawn, usually losing out with an angel close by helping and guiding you don't run with the devil by committing a sin remember the fate of lifes gaol waits... if you fail. In the body of the poem, there is a traditional couplet, followed by an un-rhyming line. It gives the appearance of a tercet, but... that third line sets the rhyme for the following couple. Penned July 3. 2016
