Imperfection

A crack in the crystal
A chip in the china
maladroitly mishandled
Is there not a certain beauty
to their blemish
Something fascinating in their flaws
Standing out among the others
with a tale to tell
Scars are stories
Engaging epics
There is poetry in imperfection
A sensational sonnet
in my reflection
