Art....And Chess (a Poem by a 12 year old)

Art... And Chess

Upon the checkered board of life, the artist takes a stance,
With brush in hand, they make their move, in a delicate advance.
Each stroke a choice, a silent voice, in the grand design,
Where pawns and knights and rooks alike, on canvas intertwine.

The king may rule the game of chess, with queen by regal side,
But in the realm of art, it's passion that presides.
For every choice is like a move in this strategic dance,
And every hue and every line, a fate left not to chance.

So let the game of chess inspire the art we thus create,
For in each form and every norm, there's a checkmate to debate.
The beauty lies in how we play, the risks we dare to take,
In art as chess, we find our way, our masterpiece to make.
