Time and Again

Perfection is an illusive pastime, an unending quest that hides delusion in uncharted diversions on life's path; Distractions litter obsession's by-pass, obstacles spring up unannounced,by chance, opportunity deflates in despair; Again,again the siren's call beckons innocent naivety to regard- mediocrity nervously breaks down.

Perfection is a goal that is unattainable in this life but something to look forward to in the next. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. I have enjoyed writing some imagism from everyday happenstance from your challenge. Sara

I thank you for comments and cheer up and look up Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. thanks again Brian

Touche, Brian! Some of us waste so much time, emotion and opportunity to experience what it is "live" life, free of all the added anxiety of trying to be perfect. May be best to set boundaries, do our best with what we have, and don't go "building castles in the air" because they only get washed away sooner or later. Great job! Peace, Audrey

Here's my form champion. 3rd from last line Agan/Again, again..spelling? perhaps breaksdown as the last word. Thank you Bri I THINK I'm beginning to hear the weak/STRESSED/ weak/STRESSED ..I think? Light & Love (line 6? 11 syllables?)

Very descriptive of those of us who seek the impossible and drive ourselves mad. Well done!
