One Minute Ramble: Checkmate


king blueMy mind is as empty as my body is tired.
My thoughts are hiding, although they’re required,
My words are not flowing this day.
I’ve had lots of ideas, but tonight it appears
My thoughts have all gone away.king red
I feel like a king, but not of the land;
A king on a black and white board.
My mind is the king that instead of moving,
Is blocked from going backward and for’d…
Ideas that were there that I wanted to share
Have been somehow taken away,
But my words, they can keep, until after some sleep
When I can get back with what I wanted to say!

    Stymied…. Know the feeling Sir Aquatom, ( Knight to Bishop three, )… always a problem when the ideas stop flowing and your mind seems to fight every move you make, (Bishop to Knight five) Hope you wake refreshed and with ideas aplenty.. (Queen to Rook four) … I have no idea about chess..so just threw in a couple or three moves,. which probably mean I’ve tumbled of the board!! … Enjoyed your rhyme…xPenx

      Stymied… I like that word!
      I can play chess (of a fashion) but don’t know the descriptions of the moves like what you wrote, Pen… I remember once teaching someone – who had never played chess before – how to play. They won. I think you’re meant to think two or three moves ahead… it takes me all my time to remember which piece moves where. Still, I like chess! 😀
