Deconstructed Acrostic Puzzle
A comforting twist
solving puzzles and problems comforts me
on the case I am, loving the twist and turns
variables sorted into categories
I am deeply satisfied
no other activity
grabs my attention as well
perhaps using my brain is all I need
zzzz, well yes I need zzzzzs
let me fix it, in dreams I find the way
ever ready to solve I am
puzzles and problems comfort giving me
reason to go on in this game
breaking the boredom of life
everyday so much the same
cognitive wheels turning
on neural pathways
miles of networks firing for hours
time warps and fades
solve and sigh as I return to me,
back again to everyday
searching for another puzzle

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
