Picture Puzzle by Shel Silverstein

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 robe of a queen.
It might be the one little bite
Of the apple her stepmother
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.

Read the poem and then answer the following questions.

What do you think the puzzle piece might be of?
Is it one of the items mentioned in the poem or something else?
Where do you think the puzzle piece came from?
If you were going to create a puzzle what scene would you make? Describe it.
Name two fairy tales that are mentioned in this poem.

    I like the book because it is funny. I think the puzzle goes with a
    puzzle of a prince and princess. It came from a girl holding a bag. The child might open the box and the puzzle fell out of the bag and he must be suprised to see a puzzle in his bag.I would like to make a puzzle of a castle.jack and the bean stalk and snow white..

    I like this poem because it is like a mystery. I think the puzzle goes with a puzzle of a tower. No. A tower is not a item from the story. I think a little boy drop it on the ground by accident. I want to make a house. Snow White and Jack and the Beanstalk.
