    5000 PIECES

    Not just a game
    (a test of patience,
    skill,
    a chance for us
    to scratch our heads
    and rap our fingers)
    it was fun.
    Oh what a thrill,
    surprised and satisfied,
    to hear that snap.
    No competition here and
    nothing scored
    I offered you an edge
    to fill a gap.
    I didn't want to think
    I'd been ignored.
    A few I tried to force in
    with a tap.
    The picture's incomplete.
    Did you get bored?
    Lose interest in the helpful clues
    I tossed?
    At first I didn't want to think
    you'd hoard the ones I sought.
    I know they're hidden, lost.
    Yup, you're not here for me
    and I concede I'll never have
    the pieces that you need.

    Interesting piece that presents internal dialogue as a pondering set of questions, and perhaps a yearning plead...I feel its that wondering we all feel when we are turned down by the person we fell head over heals for, but they just don't feel the same. Yet, we wonder-WHY.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
