Carpe Diem #693, Chess Game


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Yesterday was a tough day to create our HWT-episode, so today I will make it easy for you all (and for myself). Today our prompt is chess game not my kind of play. Yes I have tried it, but it's not really my "cup of tea". I am more of checkers which I play very often with my grandsons and they are becoming better and better I even have lost a few games already.
As I started creating this episode I thought almost immediately at the movie-musical Chess by Andrew Lloyd Webber. And I love to share a music-video from this movie-musical.


I think it's a wonderful song from Chess and I hope it will inspire you all to make another nice haiku, tanka or haiga.

Hm ... a nice haiga I think, of course it's sad that I used a picture from the WWW, but I hadn't a good image to use. Forgive me.

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until March 29th at noon (CET). I will try to publish our new episode, experience, later on. For now ... have fun!

Share your haiku, tanka, haibun or haiga inspired on "chess game" with us all.

  3. After yesterday's detailed prompt - which was a real labor of love, and REALLY appreciated - I think you're entitled to be very kind to yourself today :)

    Love the haiku -- great memories in this one.

    Namaste -

  5. I kind of like it when you keep the posts short and sweet. Less is usually more!
