Perception changes
with every faint look,
just as you thought, the advantage yours
a pawn quickly takes your rook....

black Knight prancing on his horse….
takes the rook by force

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!...

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!...

Somewhere there is hope
To the unfaithful it's dope
But a rope
Tie them up
Rook, Knght,Bishop

Raven-- Jackdaw or Rook,

Adaptable and Intelligent Crook!

Very Black or Black with Gray,

Every Caw-- An Ill-Omen, some say.

Never More: Poe-- such a grave day!...

Thy face shall be printed on book
Where thou shall face at least one rook
Tapping its spit in black stamped ink
On pages of some fabled fink
All for some mild error ‘he’ took...

I battled with 
my chess machine
It defeated me
Man vs. Machine
Just like John Henry
I feel like I 
may 
die 
   with a hammer 
in my hand
or perhaps a pawn, rook or knight...

Tongue tied and twisted my mouth is
I can’t say limerick as it is
It’s not very hard
To yell “rook card”
To say I have some winning hands

***
girl girl how you shine
among the oranges
here the rook is
here it is
an arrow to you heart
here the sun is
here it is
a thread between the leaves
past you
like a waft I will pass 
to keep the law 

to love you...

Old Ferdie had a bushy beard
when bathing some birds just appeared
two cocks and a hen
a rook and a wren
were nesting, it truly was weird!

Inspired after spotting a man with a HUGE beard

grey
squirrel
busily 
buries acorns
keenly observed by shrewd ravenous rook.
rook swoops in, pillaging hidden treasures,
jewels shattered
on roof tops;
oak tree
groans.

Jesse Lasky met Boris Spasky
                      Musket musk-catty spider husky
                   Lasky's knight cooked Spasky's rook
                      Spasky's queen is spider's spook

Repugnant Pugilist,

A Lummox dim with a rubble fist. 

Rock to Roc’s Feather.

A Stalwart Rook to blotted weather. 

An over armored Savant slain by adhoc ether. 

Hands empty without effort. 

That sweet and Sable Rune.

Opening the Gates of Nether.

Cup Of Worry
-----------------

Go now
Borrow my buggy
Go by moon or fog
For no crow or rook pry
Go upon your own

Bury my boojum cup
No burrow nor form
No rock nor bog 
Vow young boy
Bury my worry

What am I? 

A book 

A look 

A hook 

A rook 

A jook 

A nook 

A wook 

A zook 

A vook 

A mook 

A mook? 

Mook is a man mixed. 

Mixed men 

Man mixed with men is... 

A mixed man 

A mook 

A mook is what I am. 

What then is this mook?...

A cook with a good look

Once there was a cook
who had a good look

He had a good look
and took a book from a nook

He took a good look and shook his head no!
he wanted a cook book to look

His heart sank coz he had no cook book
but he was still a cook in the Restaurant Rook....

Along the path,
a hopper's song
slashes of yellow
feathered thoughts~

Along the path,
a slice of red
green scented heaven
a flowered dance~

Aside the path,
a faries brook
queen ann's lace
has found her rook~

Aside the path,
the clover walks
a mossy stone
to guide the lost~

At paths end
a burning lot,
of ogre croak
and texting snot....

Brooke rocks the stage and hits the white rook
No joke, no blunder. She screams thunder
Brooke hits the eye with her gleaming look
No wonder other blokes watch and choke.

Brooke rocks the stage and hits the white rook
Closing the gate as she does a checkmate
Brooke hits every chances I went and took
Yet she’ll leave you a message of faith....
