long before the fate has
achieved checkmate?

The Pawn and Knight, the Rook and Queen-
Bishops hunt the fleeing King
Too many moves (I'm sure to lose)
A court of squares- two fiends!...

One Knight Stand
The Queen bade us not to despair
When a knight leapt into the air
Sly as a crook
He took our Rook
Check-mating our King fair and square!...

Who during games would get in a groove
But it was his fate
To never checkmate
Coz of repeated, bone-headed moves...

Stalemate Is Worthy
Our life is a chess game
If your king’s dying,
Don’t be checkmate
But try for a stalemate

Checkmate
The clouds covered over,
the sun in the spring,
A pawn took the queen,
and checkmated the king,
The flowers bloomed,
at winters start,
Say around the time,
you stole my heart....

A Wise Move
Happy birthday, dear Norelyn,
A wise move results in checkmate;
The pawn is promoted to queen,
The king finally meets his fate.

Checkmate
wherever there be
fear or subterfuge
our heart dies a little
so the problem is huge
anticipating outcomes
attempting to steer fate
living not authentically
is essentially checkmate...

Checkmate - For Contest
I was standing in the checkout line,
And man! She was looking oh so fine,
so I checked her up and down,
but then given a big frown...
that wedding ring was her tell-tale sign.

A Haiku Triad For Basho
Life…liberty,
Happiness pursued—
Voting rights denied.
Raindrops falling,
free puddles forming;
fish swimming in a bowl
Checkmate;
a life’s pause—
the game goes on…...

Chess
The white and black squares with bishops and knights
Whether English or French, just can't get right
My pieces can't stand his defence
There’s King and Queen, but no Prince
To help me checkmate and end this boring fight...

Waiting: Chess Came Resumes
Complications why?
Let's make it a bit simple,
Don't think a lot!
Pop that brainstorming pimple!
I am waiting for you!
To play the next move!
Don't try things new!
I am waiting!
Its your move!

Oh come on!...

You Might Think
that you have the ability
to play well enough with the life
like you play chess;
However, before you have taken a hit,
think a little bit,
during that time,
you might realize
that you will never be able
to checkmate it...

Stop Dancing
stop dancing
in circles and figure eights
my name is translucent
nice to meet you, transparent
did you raise an eyebrow?
i doubt it
you've probably thought about this
retaliation
as a possible
option
so now what?
you're it.
