Peace checkered small voice
and deep clicking red black

I'm in a bit of a pickle
red black black

getting darker out
twelve strings sliding
us into the night

There's places I can move
but I'm trying to think

about the moment
the very one right here
I can cakewalk it
straight up to the next
criss-cross over squares

I moved Dad
Ok I'll just read the board

or the window, the night
jumping into the sky, kinged

It has been so long, I'd forgotten all about checkers!

The title says it all

An excellent effort,requires a little concentration,I guess the end is like it is.

I read this about 5 times yesterday and it left me feeling like i missed something..its a fabulous piece of work, and when i read it again this morning it just clicked..this should have an E..

i can be rather dense sometimes...

Excellent....

....and so different for you! Terrific ending.

Different

but just as thought provoking as everything else you write.

I like you stripped down...the poem that is

; )

You pick the right words to make the images sharp and lasting

and yeah that last stanza is great

Thank you Ange

I liked it, but it feels different from what I usually get from you. I like the other stuff too, but this seems clipped, and yet still fluid. It's short on words and long on perspective. It makes me wonder what's going on with you, and yet tells me at the same time. Interesting, anhellina.
