Checkers Poems - Poems about Checkers

Completed tasks announced by check I'd rather chat but what the heck I'll take you when and how you choose to give Just hearing from you makes my day It doesn't matter what the way I'll leave it up to you to act the sieve Sifting out the times we talk My favorite one is when you walk And call, your sweet...

Nobody plays a good game of checkers anymore, Squared off like fierce, ruthless fiends Hunched over, hypnotized by crowned kings And heavy losses spent of jubilee You can't plug in a checkerboard Or marvel at the clink, clink, clink Of counting blips against green bumpers, Though a black can disappear like magic Beneath a sweeping scarred and reddened hand. Nobody plays a...

We play checkers....God plays chess Our quick game of checkers usually result in distress... He knows all ....sees all Don’t need a crystal ball... In silent rescue...He plays His game of chess; always 10 moves ahead working on our hasty chaotic mess... All the while we boil in the oil of impatience; contemplating our fate... Before we know it...God says —checkmate!...

Racist checkers-ego fueled. Back and forth they go. Jump me once I'll jump you twice. Careening toward the darkest back row. Nothing left but two lonely pieces. Forever frozen in opposite corners. Staring over a checkered past. Over a field of a burned-out dream....

Knocking down trees with your face Describes skiing so I play Checkers in place Coz the worst that can happen Your opponent gets mad and Pulls out a gun and you are erased...

Two kings were playing checkers. One challenged the other to a dual over lunch. The first king took a bite of his salami sandwich. And oh what a pickle he was in! The second king jumped two of his pieces and then took two! “Check!” he said proudly. “Check?” questioned the other. “How is...

If I could go back For just a day Even just a few hours I would set up the board Put each checker in it's place I would see Really see Grandpa across the table Him with his furrowed brow. I would be less concerned Less focused on winning I would relish his laugh Listen carefully to his tales Record them indelibly on my mind's eye Combining Past Present Future I would...

I ain't surprised by anything I hear on the news nowadays! The way the gov'mint is bein' run just leaves me in a daze! This mornin' I heard another of Obama's schemes has gone sour! Seems that this lulu will add more to China's balance of power! His stim-scheme gave millions to the A123 Systems Company in Michigan, To make...
