the Chess Set

the Chess Set

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer
"

battle of love

"

Tit for tat the knight jumps back

The game is filled with emotion

his castle is tossed

But with a keen eye, her bishop is lost.

The King doth cry his Queen is dead

The united front is sparsely spread

And they discover to late that with each

Victory you do not always win.
