Chess

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Chess.

Reflecting.

Reflecting

life.

Endless

moves 

to be

made.

Subtleties

then

attacked.

Catching

unaware.

On guard,

constantly 

on guard.

Less your

flank be

down.

Making

ripe for

the kill!

Moving

for position.

Always

on the 

edge.

Life,like

chess

reflecting.

Jockeying 

for position.

Stepping over.

Knocking 

down.

Life like

chess a

sophisticated

game.

Deadly

to the

end.
