Reconfigured

Gazing at pieces of a puzzle
long since glued together and framed,
you finally notice that
the corner piece

doesn't fit at all:

its pattern grey
where it should have been red,
its angles shoved into
what should have been curves.
You have no idea how that piece got there,
except

(Accept)

maybe you do.

what a great piece--so nice how you take the puzzle piece a metaphor for a life (perhaps) made to fit where it doesn't belong, where it was never meant to be, WOW! that's cool--hahaha. i agree with dennis, you don't really need the 'long since glued and framed'. excellent!

Wow...I really really like this piece. The wording is perfect and the overall idea is one many can relate to. Without a doubt, your best piece. Good write!

I like that clever play on like sounding words at the end that actually defines an epiphany. Well done!
The second line seems a bit long and awkward. Perhaps "long since glued together and framed."
Otherwise a great piece.

Wow that is so awesome. Great reflections of things done in the past. I like the except (accept) lines. I can't explain why its so wonderful. I think its just that in 60 words you conveyed a univeral feeling of cramming things where they dont belong, or finding out something you thought fit in your life didn't after all. Or maybe this is very literal and you had a puzzle piece in the wrong place. lol. I'm bookshelving it, because its that good! :)

Thanks for this,
Best wishes, jenn
