Brilliant one liner “ devoted to imperfections like rituals “ yes why not. One must be proud to flaunt all shades of their feathers, and be loyal to their imperfections because that’s exactly what makes them stand out from the rest. “ they make my tiny hook break unusual” true! It makes you unique special, always stay real. Pleasure reading this deeply meaningful line. Sending you light always

thought-provoking, Tonye. Where would any of us be without our imperfections. My mother once said, "humans are perfectly imperfect." Your poem reminds me of her words. Have a splendid day, Sara

Thank you, Sara. Your mother's words remain a reality of wiseness.

Oh my, this is such a brilliant couplet which conveys so much depth.. What's broken can't be fixed the same as it was earlier, their are still the memories of cracks.. "Devoted to imperfections", "they make my tiny hook break unusual" Woah, this is so thought-provoking..

Nice twist on the old saying. Imperfections are ... us

Yes very true... yet people still try to fix that which is not broken..

Yes. And if it's not broken sometimes we should break it, lol. Thank you for your support, it motivates me.
