You said plenty. You wrote a little philosophical senryru. I think most of us have a piece of our puzzles missing now and then. The challenge is to find it. Great poem.

Hi Mystery Poet

Ironical and provides a chuckle ... I can identify well with this one. Clever and strong word use. I liked the alliteration of "puzzle/piece" and the assonance of soft and hard 'i' . Excellent presentation. Good luck in the contest ... a sure contender for high placement. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxo

Isn't that the truth? How many of us must feel that way on occasion when things just don't seem to fit. There are days I think my 'puzzle/life' has dropped to the floor and pieces have fallen through the air vent.

Like this very much and the artwork is terrific! Best of luck in the contest. AT=/

... and as we grow older, more and more of the pieces go missing! I'm sure they're just under the couch here somewhere - hold on while I have a look....

I guess I'm trying to say you have used a very apt image.

Good luck.

Steve

Spot on! And imo, we'll not be complete this side of our graves. "Now we know in part and see in part"...We're finite beings wanting to be infinite...

Thanks for sharing.

Your poem describes what I've often though of my life or that I was assigned to a competition gave without being given the rules.

This is a great senryu. I like that you used the first line for the irony instead of the last as usual. I love the comparison to a jig saw puzzle with missing pieces.

I don't that could be improved upon. I love to be around people who don't take themselves too seriously. Self-deprecating humor is a first-rate self-defense strategy!
