Check Mate

Check mate I win again... How funny I aways lose.... Shameful aren't you A piece you never Get back.... How unprincipled... A petty game Though blameworthy (Partially).... How about a new Game No.... Im afraid once something Is truly lost you can never get it back

Hi. I like the tone, very much. My suggestions are to play with line breaks and increase the word play. Maybe, lose a lose at least one ellipsis and try changing word order to see what that does? Here is an example, " Checkmate, I win//again. Funny How I always lose. Shameful, aren't you, a piece// (remanded), never to be (reclaimed)//" I'm not telling you to do THIS, but if unhappy with your poem, then try to change something, and see what that does. Welcome to Soup.
