For anyone who has been following my writing adventure, you will not be surprised that “Puzzle” inspired me to write many poems. I wrote three dVerse Poet Quadrilles in the first 25 minute sprint of #MagicMon over on twitter. I am excited about this one.

I asked for the box because I need to see the corrupted result
Pieces will fit together, but not to my vision
My passion for this puzzle used to excite me into the night
I can’t open this mangled mutation of my aborted dream.
This reads to me as aspirations lost and broken, and finding the courage to re-hash them or re-connect them. Our visions and perspectives change.

So true. No matter how well you try to communicate, fitting different ideas together is a challenge and a compromise. In certain relationships the compromise ends up always on the artist’s part.
