Chesss

 

The king dances with the queen on e4

To the music of their feet on the chess board

Swing, swinging like doors

In front of an audience of pawns

Knights on horses with spikes protecting the castle

The bishop prays

As the rooks gently fly through the day.

Don't they have punctuation where you come from? Line breaks?

Thanks for updating the punctuation. It makes a lot more sense now.

/ A couple of things:

Is the extra s in "chesss" there because of poetic license?

So the king and queen dance and swing like doors? I've never really heard anyone's dancing compared to swinging doors. 

 

 

 

 

 

When you say "rooks fly", do you mean that they fly like the birds called rooks ?
