The exercise:
Two haiku about: chess.
A long time ago, way back when I still worked at EA, I joined an online chess site at the urgings of several coworkers. We played a bunch of games against each other and had a lot of fun. We gradually began playing less, several of them left or were laid off, and then I quit too. I continued playing for a while but then eventually stopped altogether.
But recently I've been bitten by the chess bug again so I got back in touch with the site (having to get them to switch my account from my work email address to one I actually have access to) and I'm at it again. It's free to sign up at RedHotPawn, so if you'd care to challenge me to a game I'd be happy to play.
Mine:
Surveying the board,
the king whispers to his queen,
"The pawns look nervous."
* * *
Attacked from all sides,
the king cries as he brings his
gun to his temple.
