Poetry Chess 2: Todd vs Brandon

[brandontoh]

You make the Queen exchange sound too elegant. It lacks the hair pulling and name calling. =x Anyway, I like your poem a lot, although the killing part sort of comes out of nowhere.

I’ll never learn
that white lies can hurt too.
To protect is an excuse
to alleviate guilt,
and run away.

Not because I can’t,
but because I don’t want to.
I choose instant fireworks
over painstakingly grown flowers.
Both are beautiful,
but one lasts for ages,
the other moments.

I’ll never learn.
