Chess

I played the game with a smile.

 

Pawns suppressing the move

Made by my hand for the king.

A mistake, and it's all over.

 

Checkmate.

 

The king couldn't move neither direction

For the opponent's difficulty,

But rather an invitation of defeat

Spurned with soldiers left looking

At a king's dethronement.

 

No more.

 

I lost to a mere

Enticement

Of a Queen.
