A Loser In Your Game of Chess
Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 23
What is this strange game of chess
That has all of a sudden begun?
A relationship turned into an ugly mess
Once your king and you, my queen
Replaced by a world of undue stress
You think you have found a new white knight
I think he’s black, I must confess
Took away all that we once had
Neutralized your kiss and soft caress
The bishop knows he judges all
There is no way that he will bless
The lies and deceit that have come to light
The false love that you now profess
No longer am I your shining knight
Now I’m alone, retired
The lowly pawn in your game of chess.
Till next time,
Calvin

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Awe how lovely⭐️♦️⭐️
Cleverly done, with a sad end.
Very emotional - I like how you used the pieces to really showcase the breakdown of the relationship.
A heartfelt poem about love turning into a painful chess game of deceit and loss
A sad one, Calvin. Chess is a good analogy for relationships isn't it? I've done one which is similar today. Great minds and all that.
