My contribution to Cafe Writing - December project (Option two)
I have the power
to face boldly
the commanding heights,
the worst fears
A small stature
but a larger than life image
one single move
can make the enemy rage
Not to be ignored
I trip the opponent
I initiate the first move
I win close contests
Arsenals of attack
can become useless
So many options
at my defense
One step at a time,
my king in his prime
in the life game of chess
I'm the impeccable pawn
