Her eyes locked on that perfect toy.
Very excited and overfilled with joy.
Then she got home and opened it up,
made lots of room, it was going to be tuff.
First found the corners and then the sides,
filled in the middle, eyes opened wide.
Slowly the picture came into view.
Better than expected and all brand new.
Her smile got bigger with one piece left.
Placed in her hand, this was the test.
She laid it down, where it was to sit.
Just one problem, the piece didn't fit.

i especially loved the last line.

one question though, did you deliberately misspell tough?

just curious.

if so, what kind of effect were you going for? you don't need to explain if you don't feel necessary.

I loved the metaphor...sometimes we jsut dont fit in where we want to. We try so hard to hang with the "right crowd," and in the end, we knew where we belonged all along. You will find that group, and you will finally feel complete. The peice will fit, you just have to find that right puzzle.

to answer your question quietlydying....i did spell tough incorrectly on puropse. it had no hidden meaning or anything it just looked better. i wrote it as "tough" the first time and then rewrote it as "tuff" and for some reason i like the spelling "tuff" better. who knows, i'm just random like that :-)

The meaning behind this and the splendid way in which you show us the story, show us the prblem, the desire. It can easily be adapted into our lives.... into us. We clear space away, we're all excited, and in the end, it just doesnt' work. COuldn't this be a poem of a large percentage of relationships? Anyhoo... poetically wonderful, read well... perfection.
