Daniel -- the graphic (a PNG or JPG file) needs to be somewhere on the Internet so you put in the URL within your post. If you email me the jpeg or png you want "available" I'll "store it" for you at poemtrain.com and I'll give you the link (URL) you can include in your post.  I'll do this for or any others that may not have the means to store files on the Internet where they can be accessed.  Let me know.

I'm not too sure how to get the graphic in-between?  I might try it in a "play" thread to experiment. I think you accomplished unique ways to amplify your message -- the visual, of course -- but also the dynamic of achieving much more by traversing a space (in life) and elevating how you feel (going from pawn to queen). Clever, witty and insightful -- still the same Daniel I've known for over 20 years!  --smile--

Well done! I wonder if they still call this a "concrete" poem where the poem's shape reflects the message/meaning? Also, I'm not sure if the three long dashed lines at the bottom are a part of the base of the chess piece or if the intent is to imply there's more beneath the actual piece than meets the eye? I also loved how you used all those participles (and you used the present participle "ING" not the past participle "ED" to emphasize, I think, that this is here-and-now and not just what "was?)" 

Not sure if THIS is your intent also, but the rules of chess "allow" the pawn to become a queen if it successfully traverses to the opposite end of the chess board, yes?

This was quite a beautiful way to express love and admiration. Enjoyed by this reader.
