In A Perfect World
Within a perfect world, you see,
no challenges would we foresee.
No need to change, to form a quest
to help make good, better and best.
No goals, no productivity
within a perfect world, you see.
Impossible to strive for more
when there is nothing to explore.
Perfection comes from mending flaws;
without them, there's no purpose 'cause
within a perfect world, you see
improving life could never be.
A perfect world might not be fine;
there must be good for best to shine.
There is no point to even be
within a perfect world, you see.

Contest: Applicable - Not Applicable
Sponsor: Richard Lamoureux
Judged: 06/02/2019
The contest theme was "In A Perfect World," and rather than write about the positive blessings of a 'perfect world', I decided to express the negatives - that perfection leaves no reason or room for growth and accomplishment. But the contest sponsor had something else in mind...my poem was not 'perfect', not 'applicable' enough...and so I earned an NA :( :(
