PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

jubilant success

achievement of vertical parry

clear and silent victory

the unforfeited mastery of

transparency

a plunge full folly in playful

housewares

two child like minds

revisiting ideas once held in such

high regard

to play the game of strategy outside

the colors

imagine the coup

digest the gall

reframing the accepted structure

of the game

it was upon reflection's mist

such beautiful chaos

in all its bulking, sulking glory

the laugh still romps

with me in my mind

the day I beat the Jr. High School chess

champion

with little more than that of my cellophane

rook

and his fellow warrior clear pals

proving once the color is removed

the over estimated champion

could no longer so well

seem to play

so remember

when the rules change

bend the mind...........
