Puzzle Of Life Contest N/A

"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! *Riskant-german-risque

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!

One puzzle piece leads to another. You described historical moments with realism . I am inspired by your poem.

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!

I've read her bio before. Can't say I idolize anyone in the entertainment industry but I get your point, she made certain contributions that some consider important or of value. That aside, it's a nice poetic tribute

The chain of events are profound in this case. Hitlers banning all movies with Jews, (Hedy Jewish). Led to her journey to America where she would have an opportunity to get retribution for Hitlers evil doings, and helped the US Navy remotely control torpedoes during World War II, for the damage U-boat torpedos wrought upon allied ships. Jamming up the German communication guidence. Tell me if that's not an important piece of life's puzzle! Thank you, I totally idolize all glamorous actresses, Brad Pitt, Pete Davidson, etc....who says beauty is only skin deep? :D

I have always felt that women were more important than men, though I know about evil ones too.
