A caring coworker (the same one who gave me the Bucket List Books puzzle) gifted me this Blooming Color puzzle when from our workplace she did depart
Hah, my logic was to dump it out on the floor (like a kid) to start
This puzzle is different, each piece with a letter on the back
My recall of what my coworker said those letters meant seemed to lack
a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-k, do I sort all 1,000 pieces into each letter group
I did the flat edges, proceeded with a repetitive hand sort scoop
For someone who has not been sleeping well at night
This task definitely passed the time all right
Though initially intimidated by the color spectacle before my eyes
This puzzle was surprisingly easy, letter sort (then use the colors) wise
I love spying (photographing) flowers when I am on walks outside
Endless varieties, color pattern combinations, could not capture them all if I tried
I like the way they change from one moment to the next
Brighten a person’s day, like a simple “good morning honey” text
Perfection, not a lasting state
Growth, weather- a transient fate
Anyways, 2:00am and I feel accomplished, task completed
Back to bed as not to wake with all energy depleted
