Starting my game waiting for white
To begin play with its silver pawn
With watchful eyes I note the motion
As my black fades against a snowy dawn.
I play in black and my defence
Involves no castled king
White makes its move across the board
While I hear my black squares sing.
A bold little pawn steps forward to meet
The glance of a cold white knight
Its tiny mould flanked on one side
By a black bishop’s greater might.
The game is on, the battle engaging
A war of two powerful well-matched wits
Losses incurred on both sides ignored
As no pride dares to call it quits.
The black queen moves and strikes it strong
One after the other, the white pieces fall
Without face or mercy, her purpose fixed
Attack, defend, destroy and appal.
A defiant white king spared for the last
For victory to be relished after a worthy fight
My black queen eyes him with a steely stare
“Checkmate,” she exults, with her well-earned right.
End: 6:25 p.m.

For a minute I thought you were lost, but I see you're still on the board.
Whoa.
I am bad at getting other people's metaphors. But just as a descriptive poem, it's actually amazing.
Very stunning, I must say.
