Picture Puzzle Piece

I know, I haven't written in over a month, and now I decide to post a poem written by someone else. But I was reading this at Sunergos and have now become a fan of Shel Silverstein, so I thought I would share it with you.

"Picture Puzzle Piece"

One picture puzzle piece
Lyin' on the sidewalk,
One picture puzzle piece
Soakin' in the rain.
It might be a button of blue
On the coat of the woman
Who lived in a shoe.
It might be a magical bean,
Or a fold in the red
Velvet robes of a queen.
It might be the one little bite
Of the apple her step mother
Gave to Snow White.
It might be the veil of a bride
Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.
It might be a small tuft of hair
On the big bouncy belly
Of Bobo the Bear.
It might be a bit of the cloak
Of the Witch of the West
As she melted to smoke,
It might be a shadowy trace
Of a tear that runs down an angel's face.
Nothing has more possibilities
Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.
