Rubik In the Round

round as the world —
   round and round we go...
a merry go ‘round, of
  multicultural colors,
like chromatic ponies
   on a carousel.
a slide puzzled
     a brow —
“not possible,” says the baby teen.

possibly the craziest ex-cube
   circumnavigates,
      surrounds
the inner core
  of happiness.
the slip and slide,
   a splash of huge
      smiles and sighs.

peculiarity of pixels,
   a mixup tottered by a thumb,
exciting as a magic-8 ball,
    skaken, assured
of endless challenges
    computer never runs
out of fun.

Kim, Round or square it would be all the rage at the right convention. But asking questions of love and life to the a magic-8 ball was like having a wise friend. Good luck, I enjoyed this carousel ride. -Richard

This is such a refreshing version of a Rubik's Cube. So much more magical than the clunker we've been solving for too long now. Are you taking orders yet?! Best wishes, Kim. :) gw

I did try the Rubik cube, succeeded once. Alas I have very little patience for it. ~~
