Challenge
make a metaphor of chess
write something that uses the game of chess metaphorically! OK HEAR ME OUT: I think we should start a thing (let's call it MAM) where you create a make-a-metaphor challenge and it can be anything (i.e. make a metaphor of ______). anyone? maybe it could be some sort of prose.com type thing? please let me know; I just thought it was a good idea

Tis said the king
is all powerful
Perhaps no.
Without his army
free to maneuver
Dependent on pawns
with limited moves
Advised by a bishop who
sees only angles
He hides in his castle
rooked in by his
knights
Ruling truly
his Queen
Harassing
them all
until she chases
a pawn across
each square
Abandoning
her King
to crown
someone New
Replacing
the old
for illusions
untrue
King uncaring
uses them all
to grasp power
from obedience
his death
ends all
