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
give me your tired, your poor
Hospitals are a place of death,
pawns for the sacrifice.
Doctors are drug dealers,
knights jumping pieces.
Minimum wage job won’t pay the bills,
bishop deployed.
Buy the next big toy,
keep up with the Joneses,
rook takes bishop.
Your life for an education,
paid off by retirement,
Queen exposed.
Drowning in debt,
paste a smile on your face.
Checkmate.
Don’t worry,
there’s a pill for that.
King down.
