Curt Mcgill Poet Blank verse

Perfect

<>




i am a perfectionist
but i am completely incapable of perfection

                   like most
i don't have many happy accidents
i am burdened by flaws, by failure, by folly
                   but
i am not bound by fate 
to lose, but to negotiate
and learn from missed cues
my diffused bomb 
won't blow your mind
but in time
you will question why i threw it


i am a perfectionist
but completely incapable of perfection

                  like most
i don't have many happy accidents

Andrea Dietrich July 3, 2012 at 9:08 PM THis is Awesome!! I love how you inserted the first lines back into the ending. Great emphasis of your message. For myself, I would only change that first line: I am not a great perfectionist!! However in writing I very much try to be, and I can see that you are too!
