Every month, Rebecca over at Fake Flamenco sets a poetry challenge. This month, her chosen theme is – puzzle. Once our offerings are in, she sets herself a puzzle, and translates every single one into Spanish. Hence my post’s title. I reckon translating mine will definitely set out to romperle la cabeza (break her head).
Puzzle
I'm always frazzled by a puzzle.
My mind dries up, my brain's a-sizzle.
The answer's muzzled in my head
then bustles off - it's such a hassle.
I'm frizzled up and start to grizzle.
Let's just give up - go on the razzle.

Fiendish!

Just so. Word puzzles can be fun, but jigsaws etc. just leave me cold.

Wonderful verse, just about sums up how I’m feeling at the moment trying to organise data and photos for a report.

Thanks for the challenge for translation. It was fun to look for s sounds, since Spanish doesn’t have our buzzy z.
