Life in the
Black and White
Justified ,
aligned to be professional
Where is my
Bookman Old Style?
A checkered
Chess
A pawn
marching forward
To become
Queen
At the end
of it all.
My Dog’s
Coat is
Black and
White too!
I pet her
inconsistencies
And pat
mine too
We move
forward
W(h)ining
& Winning.
A dash of
grey
Can blot
the white
But can
never dim the dark
And that is
why
I am a
Black Queen y’all.
( Karuppu means black and Da is synonymous to dude in tamil)
A vivid variety boxed in together. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteBookman Old Style is my fave font. I enjoyed this whimsical poem.especially patting the inconsistencies.
ReplyDeleteSamyuktha, so sorry, I called you the wrong name!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this, especially the last stanza! Actually it made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It reads like a battlecry :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly white can be dimmed by grey... the dark is always dark.
ReplyDelete"A dash of grey / Can blot the white / But can never dim the dark" - brilliant. And those last two lines...best ending ever!
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear the timpani as the lines shimmer toward their close--a musical piece!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl. This is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore this line: “I pet her inconsistencies” ... and chess.
Well Black Queen was it you whining or the dog? Probably the dog as you were guzzling the wine werent you!
ReplyDeleteNice take on it!
ReplyDeleteLove it.

I really have a doubt. Is there a king or a knight or a bishop Or atleast a pawn in your life?
ReplyDeleteI have a more important doubt. Why don't you use your real name? You bloody shameless stalker. If you want me to take you seriously, stop being a coward and atleast reveal your identity. Anyways I have filed a cyberstalking complaint against you and hired and IT expert to track your IP address and other details. Cyberstalking does not go unpunished
