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...

Checkers Vs Chess
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!...

Checkers
Sometimes I play checkers with a grizzly bear He always wins I don't care Red or black I let him choose And I always make sure that I lose Once I decided to win a game He got angry and went insane Snatched up his board and went home Left me bleeding and all alone...

Terror driven the thunderstorm outside Animals are uncomfortable and wet There is no willing earthly place to hide Grandma sits and knits as aunt and uncle fret There is a pause, the lightning not well set Gray thunder roars as loud as any train Across from grandpa I move my checker and yet Unnamed feelings cause me a bit of strain Knowing some...

Premium Member Racist Checkers
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....

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...
