The Rubik's Cube
July 21, 2022
I picked up the cube,
the cube of cubes.
It reminded me of light,
reflecting from a prism.
The colors didn't match,
they didn't complement.
I had to fix it quickly,
although I didn't have a plan.
The doorway was wide open,
I just had to enter.
And that was all it took,
to solve the rainbow puzzle.
Not only was it a mystery,
it was also a metaphor.
For I had just witnessed,
the guide of life.

yes! I solved a rubik's cube and it's true that the disorder of the cube makes you want to solve it as soon as possible, but actually solving it is a different story.. love it
(My teacher recommended this be published)
When I first learned to solve the Rubik's cube, it took time, effort, and thinking. I learned that a puzzle, seemingly unsolvable, had methods to be completed. I think that is related to life. You need a tutorial, which is help from others. You need time and effort, which means sacrifice. And lastly, you need happiness, which is the end result. After that, you have the key to what I believe is a success. Thank you very much for reading.
