Perfect
For something to be perfect
Patience surely is required,
Especially for projects
You would like to be admired.
A recipe you’ve never tried,
A quilt that you are sewing,
Some pictures to be framed,
A garden that’s in need of mowing.
A painting you are working on,
A home repair or cleaning -
You’re either patient or you’re not;
There is no in-betweening.
I am not a patient person;
Slap-dash is my stock in trade.
Behind each hanging on my walls,
Just count the holes I’ve made.
My quilting stitches don’t line up
Yet still, I do feel proud
When a project is completed;
Imperfection is allowed.
With my poems I’m much more patient
As I work on every line.
I would never call them perfect,
But most definitely mine.
