Puzzle Of Life

"Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life"


Is there a larger purpose for everything? We can all agree 
at least for me, I just can’t imagine there not be, on it I fixture
In a puzzle each piece plays an important part in the big picture
We analyze life’s order and disorder and conclude life’s puzzling
We then by nuzzling the piece which doesn’t fit, 
go back and try and force it, and that’s when we find
each piece IS unique, and just like puzzle pieces, 
our differences may not always fit together perfectly, 
still, we create a beautiful picture when we work together
“Ecstasy” was the first film the Austrian Hedy Lamarr starred in
She was the first ever to simulate a climax on screen, 
This may NOT seem like an important puzzle piece to many
Banned by Hitler, riskant and although unseen in Germany
Hedy Lamarr was not only a bombshell Hollywood movie star 
A technology inventor of frequency hopping, a significant Role in WWII
We spend so much time looking for one specific puzzle piece, when all along
it’s right there in front of us, important women of history, she made
such an impression on me by far! She escaped from Mandl’s grasp 
by fleeing to London, where she broke free from ethic and civil strife 
I am pleased I found this intriguing part of the puzzle of life!

a very interesting poem. I think it was for one of the challenges, wasn't it? How did it do? Or maybe that one was not even judged yet!

Your poem celebrates the resilience and individuality of the protagonist, who is depicted as someone unburdened by societal expectations. The metaphor of flying with her own wings suggests a sense of independence and self-determination. The line, "Smaller or bigger than others, It really doesn't matter to her," conveys a powerful message of self-acceptance, emphasizing that the protagonist is not defined by external comparisons.

All that and an important piece of life's puzzle, after all she did invent WiFi! The key here is "the chain of events". Thank you SO for your remarks and reviews, they mean a lot to me!

A tribute to women in general here Anaya with Hedy used as a microcosm of them all, they are every bit as important to the puzzle of life as men, but rarely given the equal credit they deserve, this was certainly an education for myself more so on her intellectual prowess than as an actress, excellent work, bol in contest, cheers David

Hi David, I did what I could with a minimum of 20 lines and kept it simple as requested by the sponsor, no words that need looking up! lol. The chain of events is key. Thank you!
