Checkmate
written by: Sonakshi Sharma
The king stands tall, but steps are few,
A silent knight knows what to do.
The queen once fierce, now trapped in fate,
One final move—too late, too late.
A pawn once weak, now bold and free,
Becomes the piece that traps the key.
The board is set, the game is played,
A whispered word—”Checkmate”—is made.
