Closing the door
on this cold winter day
putting down the puzzle
that I just bought to play
Wonderful puzzle
filled with a theme of spring
using my immanent imagination
to fill the house with bling
Rationing out the pieces
in spatial awareness of colors and shapes
hoping to make it easier
to put together the landscape
Hours pass
fully engaged in the game
carefully putting together each bird
then giving it a name
Observing the finished puzzle
wondering where it belongs in my home
carefully gluing it together
then spraying with protective foam
Hanging above the fireplace
causing my spirit to tingle
feeling warm and happy
a reminder of how seasons intermingle

All poets take shots at season poetry, with varying results. Your is outstanding, Debbie.
I love the way you describe the process of assembly. I cannot piece together a puzzle in this manner. Colors confound me. It is hard to explain.
Thank you. All puzzles have different strategies in putting together. This works for me on the simple puzzles but not so much on those with irregular pieces and large numbers. Still there is a certain appeal in the attempt. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
Ahh. … I love that way you put voice over with your poetry. I used to follow a fellow here in WP using VO. His site is gone.
Thank you. I like the voice overs as well. It has been fun learning how to use the voice recorder. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
this is a wonderful poem Debbie! It is really beautiful!
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
