Is Poetry Like A Game Of Chess Poem by Shaun Cronick
Is Poetry Like A Game Of Chess
Is poetry like a game of chess,
Trying to think 12 moves ahead.
I can't type out the words quick enough,
With the images that fill my head.
The words are like the chess moves,
Trying to dovetail them all in place.
And when my thinking duel has ended,
Another new poem to show its face.
well done you have used Very good metaphor in this poem and addressing very important issue..I call that strategy 'the economy of using words'..but you are right some times the poetry moves to different directions and works such as a chess game...thanks for sharing this unique inspiration...10 as usual.
Thank you Soran for your kind and most interesting comment. I like your phrase 'the economy of using words'. How right you are. It's choosing the right word/words in a poems structure its beat, flow, meter. Sometimes its easy most times not so easy. Thanks again Soran and keep writing my friend.Keep writing. For your poems and writing are more than magical. Take care.
