Chess
Checkmate for a king is the end,
High and mighty queens taking everything in their path,
Eponymous pawns slaughtered at the first move,
Strategic moves across the board,
Sideways moves by the rooks.
By Christopher Tye
Wonderful poem, Christopher. I like the accurate description of eponymous pawns, and their readiness to be sacrificed
