The Puzzle

Poems I have written
words that eluded
time and time again
nothing that seemed to fit
pieces of a puzzle
lost inside my mind
the missing piece ....
 one I could never find.

Hello Phyllis … nothing more puzzling than trying to recall a word you had intended to write into your verse but like a wisp of smoke it's gone - thanks again Phyllis - Lindsay

- I remember as a child ... the last piece of the puzzle ... it was the "boring" piece ... I think we should always look for the last one ... - We can always start a new puzzle ... but, life is only once, my friend :) - An interesting poem about life :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
