PAWN'S PATIENCE
Should I be King?
My movement encased
Maybe the Queen
All over the place
A Bishop? A Knight?
A Rook who castles
The elite have power
Clothed in bright tassels
But Pawn I remain
Just one of the crowd
My strength is numbers
Both flanks I surround
To move 'cross a board
A Queen in due time
I'll finish the journey
One space at a time.

What a good metaphor! I think the rhyme and meter in this is great!
It's even better read aloud. Good poem.

I particularly like this poem I do not know why exactly as I do not care for chess even though my charming young nephew begged me to play it with him.
I think it is that is just was very smooth and I do understand a bit of the game enough to see where the poem is coming from.
It kind of makes the game less daunting when it is in poetic form, maybe?

I enjoyed reading this. Smooth. The patient pawn.
Just because I have been doing this a lot today, you have mostly five syllable lines.

It's a thought provoking poem; reflecting much truth of life.
