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

Reading the Opponent
Sometimes I play chess,
with those I consider loving.
I decide to lose
becuase I want to see how they win.
The first player did fancy footwork with his bishops.
He used spirit to manipulate me,
and cast me under his spell.
The second player approached with
sound strategy.
His pieces moved with his purpose,
and they served his king.
When I play my pieces are alive.
The queen pits herself against the opponents queen.
The pawns march forward and guard my castled king.
Bishops and knights take the board first.
Chess is a game,
But how you play
reflects who you are.
