Checkered stories

Checkered stories

In checkered squares
Of excitement, victory, defeat
A story of kings, queens, knights unfolds
In moves, strategies , playfulness

Kingdoms won and lost
In between these checked squares
Of black and white

A childhood blossoms
Runs free with friends
Disregarding wins , losses
Focusing on fun in playing
Blooms in all shades of color

P.S. A few lines that came to me at a children's chess meet and I couldn't help but admire the blessed elasticity of childhood that rises so eaisly over trivialities of losses and wins .
