This is my 3-minute “poem” to Bobby Fischer, my favourite chess player!
“Someone great… has passed…”
Today, today only 64
He made his last move
– the most important –
to the square of “death”
no more breath
or even check!
no more castling
only en passant’ing!
His sword has swung
after years of struggle
ruined by politicians
he moved like a knight
Threatened and powerless
he moved quite swiftly
across the board of
64 squares!
Each square a knightmare
Till he found his “piece”
Iceland, oh Iceland!
Where he rests in peace!

The next poem is based on a poem of William C Williams…This is just to say…
This is just to say
a great chess master
has passed away
on Thursday
17th January
at age 64
Forgive me
If I say
that he is the BEST
of the Millennium
he was so great
so creative
and so bright!
