    About this ebook

    Chess Moves on Old News (part two) is the second book written by the author and is titled as such to capture the dynamic of the knight (rook) in chess as it jumps around on beliefs of old views and applies a fresh set of eyes thinking. The author hopes his poetry gives food for thought to readers who are able to see the strategic moves and plots that shape our conscious or unconscious mind and how we handle the end result.

    Author

    Wayne Jasmin

    Wayne Jasmin is a mental health nurse who has used his nursing experience and his own nights of insomnia to convey in verse some of the feelings people who experience either can relate to. Writing poetry became something of interest to the author later in life, around his mid thirties and was very much influenced by his mothers earlier written work. His poetry went hand in hand with his own interest in art and its varied styles such as technical drawing, sketching and graffiti as he found it to be another way to creatively express himself. After years of rich and varied friendships the author is able to touch on matters of interest that links to most peoples' psyche as he uses life experiences of acquaintances to shape much of his poems.

      Chapter One

      Take Two On The Past

      Dance for the moon

      Shiftless sand danced life’s elixir in seas open watered lore

      darting up, diving down; fireflies dazzle moonlights sky

      crotchet shaped stars ignite notes to play heavens airy tune

      exacting splendour; gilt finned fish strum scales across the flashing night,

      inside magnetic current eels animated fantasies spring to life

      chaos affably accepts calm; an array of shoals run rife,

      free formed infant seahorse frolic with head bows marked polite

      an abundance of luminaries share expectations under old times hallowed moon,

      witnessing skies grace unfold; shooting stars glow by;

      rhythms reveal shiftless sand buried deep in seas crested shore.

      Spontaneously novice tides reverb electric dancing waves

      creating visual music, seahorses trumpet to harmonise with a mini grand,

      strumming chords with spirits high, shoals cavort waters playground space;

      merging moonlights mystery; twilight bends bright corners of suns’ yesterdays

      radiating ghostly coils; a halo lassoes the beach,

      reaching for agreement moons’ chalky lunate eagerly smiles to teach;

      holding a glorified position of skies satisfied gaze,

      delicate runs of glittered fish pattern a trail of spidery lace;

      retaking flight then diving down; nights’ delight play sky’s black tie music band

      as moons’
