Impromptu

This poem is dedicated to one of my best friends, C.P.

Laying on my bed

flat like a pancake

I did nothing but

listen to the music of the evening storm

on a blackened gloomy autumn night.

Like a little child

who woke up from a nap

I tip-toed

to my bedroom closet

and made an impromptu discovery.

An unused jigsaw puzzle

was hiding in my closet,

like an antiquated toy

that was never noticed,

utilized or respected.

Sitting with my legs crossed

on the beige wooden floor,

I assembled the puzzle

and I was a winner

of a solo brain-training contest.

The new, unexpected hobby

wiped the boredom

off my mind and body,

giving me a fresh beginning

to pure intellectual amusement and rapture.
