You've chosen a meter and rhyme scheme that suit this kind of storytelling well. The narrative proceeds at a stately pace and there is a sense of inevitability. I appreciated your notes on the rules and the play of Sorry, a game I've not encountered before.

    Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Tony. I'm sure there's various renditions of the game but Sorry is the one my family played while I growing up. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again, friend.

A very well-written poem/story about a game of war between two kings without spilling blood of their followers in real life and the winner takes it all. A mind game with a bit of luck for the winner.
