I was in the corporate world for about 30 years, and I would say, Sandra, that you have it pegged! Very good depiction in a poem!
Truth in the whimsy, coiled like the snake......................very nice Sandra.
Very well composed with good rhyme and rhythm. Ofcourse a contemporary subject. No only in corporate world, evrywhere we're beset by unknown enemies. If time permits read my LIVING WITH ENEMIES, that runs............broader on the society at large.
this game is really a game of fortune, , if you happened to hit the numbers corresponding snakes mouth, ...my gosh you really move backward, , , but..wait..the figure of speech presented here is so unique..the formation of words represented as snakes and ladders are so very wonderful..cheers, , naizz
this is one of my favorite games. my family used to play it all the time. you brought back fond memories.. I like this piece.. a lot.
Hmmmm, Snakes and Ladders was the first game I was ever introduced to as a kid. Who would of ever thought I could of taken that learning time of the game with me later in life into the real world. Great thought and concept. 10+++
A simply stunning poem with excellent imagery. Great title and snake theme too! Before I retired I used to call it a game of chess, if profits were down only slightly, someone would be wiped of the board quick smart. The staff turnover was despicable. Chess pieces for people and your game of snakes and ladders fits a cruel corporate world. Loved it! a ten from me
Even if you win the this rat race still you will remain the rat.................Good Write......Why to compete with fools........

Very well written...I can feel the affected person's agony...excellent poem
This is entertaining, more entertaining than Snakes and Ladders, or whatever the game's called, by far.. sure gave me a big smile. (though secretly, I do love snakes..just try to avoid the baddies with venom)
