Nice! Really! Perhaps separating the poem into separate stanzas? It would make it more clear.

It's like a bug or smth... the first time I post the poems, it comes as one block of text...
Yup, much better=)
A check, a checkmate
O look upon the devil queen
As she so contrives to eat the heart of angels
Let the angel's court protect him!
A white square, a dark square
Where 2 of the clergy meet
Yes, let them fight and tug!
Tush, tush, fear boys with bugs!
A castle, a castle
Face each other,
Let the arrows hit,
And the spears pierce!
64 squares,
Yes, send out the soldiers!
If they reach the line,
Let them be honoured.
A hop, a leap
Take a faithful step,
my knights
Run the devil queen through!
Slay her as you ne'er did before!
Yes, the deed is done!
(Tush, tush, fear boys with bugs was taken from Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare)
