Masterpiece

Masterpiece

certain puzzles

take time

42,000 pieces

require patience

to put together

some people

are not so good

at solving puzzles

preferring a quick

configuration

that requires less effort

and time

others get frustrated

easily

when they cannot find

the missing pieces

the dog mighta chewed

and they give up

just like that

when they’re almost done

a persistent puzzler

will either start again

with a new box

or fashion pieces to fit

the original puzzle

and it may not look perfect

to the trained eye

but beautiful

still

in its completion

to fill the empty spaces

and even if some pieces

had to be restored

by hand

and carefully placed

to fit existing pieces

the big picture

was worth it

the persistent puzzler

will then hang the finished piece

in the great hall

where there are many rooms

with many panes
