Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Chess - the Other Side of the Story

The game of chess
Some say it is a pastime
I know who said "It's no a whit inferior to the violin"
I used to play regularly 
But now I have dumped chess for poetry
Mistake - maybe.....

Poet Destroyer A December 15, 2015 at 7:31 PM Hi Matt, I was once in love with checkers a step below chess. I see why one addiction leads to another. However, poetry is very creative and a very Xool sub. Hugs LINDA

Andrea Dietrich December 9, 2015 at 8:40 PM Hi, Matt. That would be so nice to see Brighton. I watched a movie of it once!
