The Puzzle

Taking out from the box, spreading puzzles pieces
Looking at the picture of an old-fashioned house
With a blue-shaded sky and animals, small as mouse
A thousand little bits, unstressful releases

Starting with the border, making the rectangle
Turning over all pieces and putting it in piles
Slowly seeing patterns and assembling by styles
Placing the first pieces, seeing the spectacle

Constructing the brick house was the easy challenge
Now onto animals; cows, horses, and those sheeps
Combination elements, to form the base of keeps

Adding the rest of greens, it was quickly manage
But to finish this game, you have to concentrate
See the odd shades of blue, to finish packaged fate.
