Symmetry

Symmetry appeals to me – 
The yin demands a yang.
Imagine Dracula if he
Had just one single fang.

A balance is required
For a bird or bee to fly
So Nature has conspired
To explain the reason why.

We have two eyes, two ears, two feet
And, naturally, two hands.
Symmetrically, we are complete
To follow life’s commands.

Rebellious types like things askew,
Eschewing any match,
But when I see their work on view,
I wish they’d start from scratch.

You and I have so much in common this poem shocked me; I want everything to be off kilter, lopsided, and uneven.

Enjoyed! I must admit when I first click on a poet's work, I check out the symmetry first! My enduring problem is checking out a woman's cleavage before I look into her eyes . . . . .(The Captcha code is, "CHA" as in, "cha cha cha" or got CHA?)
