"Chess Club: Bloody Crowns"

"Chess Club: Bloody Crowns"

Queen dismissed King because
King wanted to swing.
Prince took it hard.
Princess was scarred.
Duke called it a fluke.
Just hushes from Duchess.

After King escaped the fire,
he drew the Knight's ire.
Knight peered through Queen's window.
Already had the info.
Pawns move about the lawn.

Knight's ire?
Fawn and desire.
Chain mail and hooks across Rooks.
Blackest White on the board.
Dark Knight plays both sides
just to ride.

Queen swore by her Bishop
that she'd never fall again.
Prince and Princess fall asleep.
Queen weeps.
Knight creeps.
Bishop prays.
Sixth day.

King kept his ring
among other things.
With map in lap,
he returns to kingdom.
King dumb;
trusting one he placed on steed.
Queen had needs.

Duke told the story.
Duchess remained quiet.
Bishop tried his best;
but couldn't quell King's riot.
King entered at noon.
Knight left soon.

King observed Queen
sigh and swoon.
King asked why Queen
let his heart bleed.
Queen reiterated needs
before disclosing a third seed.

Queen wasn't the least
bit contrite about Knight;
citing late nights alone
while King was gone.
Duchess's sheets never remained white.

She remains silent for a reason.
King can't cite treason;
lest he wish to end up dead.
Queen kept a clear head
as hooks scaled Rooks again.

King can't win for losing:
Bishop is moving.
Pawns hardly matter.
Duchess called it off.
Duke is getting fatter.
Knight ensues laughter.
Prince is mortified.
Princess is far from flattered.
Kingdom torn apart.
Nothing left to gather.

Queen stabs King through the heart.
Knight tears him apart.
Beaten, bloody corpse.
Royal blood splattered.
King broken and battered.
Pawns stop and look.
King hung from Rook.

King is surely dead.
Queen wants proof instead.
Knight heeds what Queen said.
Knight lops off King's head.
Sad state.
Unfaithful magistrate.

Checkmate.
