John's original poems
<< August 2006 | poems index | clock poem | October 2006 >>It's your move,baby(WANT A GRANDFATHER/longcase/tallcase CLOCK?) (September 2006)Finely shaped carvings on squares,black or white,
Cut to design,a conventional design.
Defensive warriors who also attack.
The King is resting in his house while religion battles the Knights and the Queen protects her servants,flanked by the east and west wings.
Straight the Rook flies,to storm the enemy lines,each advance carefully calculated to destroy miserable wandering peasants.
Finely shaped carvings on squares black or white,
cut to design,a conventional design,like Noddy,like Batman,like Little Bo Peep,obsessing the mind,devouring time,leaving life like a tattered ruin,a final shambles before unexpected and shattering defeat.
