On Being Untidy

The more I let go of
these tiresome soul struggles,
the should haves,
the should bes, 
the more it is possible,
to be messy and
alive.

Premium Member Perils of Perfectionism

I skipped my knitting group two weeks ago
alas, I had zero progress to show.............

But I explained (it did fascinate her)
knowing I'm a big procrastinator ;-)

Collaborator

The traitor 
seized fond dreams
and rent my soul
on a hurdle of nails
hauling innocence
toward sour odours;
the steel nemesis
christened cosmetic
under searing light
and coerced oblivion.

Haiku maxim for everyday life

Expect the sudden  
Pray for preparedness of heart 
For time has power

When you’re spending
Pay out exact expenses
Do it first in your home

Perfectionism
Is daunting to execute
Excellence requires not
Form: Haiku


Night and Day

Your beautifully bright like a summers day
the joy you bring makes me float away
into the clouds which bring the rain 
in your violence and rage
you cause chaos and pain  
the day becomes grey and i patiently await
the validation of your soothing rays.

Perfectionism

I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect
When I know it can never come to fruition
Perhaps I do it for the self respect
Maybe I do it for the recognition

Always I try to keep it all correct
Always I fail, and let it fall away
I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect
I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect

Premium Member Down With Pessimism

Down with pessimism
  Drown not in negativism
Beware of escapism
  Steer clear of cynicism

Keep far from fanaticism
  It only invites antagonism
Too lonely is monasticism
  Too stifling, collectivism

Failure dogs perfectionism
  Emptiness mars materialism
Insularity deadens catechism
  Stoicism breeds fatalism...

True, this poem is full of criticism
  ~ But it ends on a note of optimism

Premium Member Perfectionist Poet

Listen to poem:
Please pander to my
Perfectionism by
Pottering your purlesent
Peepers purposely past my
Permanently printed
Phrases of poetic poise

Pulling precious people
Past particular poison 
Pleases.
Pushing perfection points
Purposefully protects from 
Painful perception.

Perhaps a pedantic persuasion?
Perhaps a pen peaking in
Peppery passion or with
Personal poignancy or
Painted pastiche pictures of
Platitude?

Once in a While

"You are perfect the way you are!" - they said.
Weird, isn't it?
Was I ever perfect,
Or did I simply fit in?

I watched the gardener,
Softly edge the Bonsai into a rounded "masterpiece."
Beautiful, yes - 
Sad, too.
It never truly grew. 
Is that what perfection means?

Once in a while,
I felt proud - "The woman I am."
But then, 
I looked at the girl
I once wanted to be. 

Oh -
What a perfect stranger I have become to myself.

Lads greed

For is it my fault?
I slumber deeply, confused thoughts and mismatched words
Perfectionism aches to play,
But dread and hate, oh they keep me at bay
What time shall I awake, a world filled with malice and foul play awaits
They slay my kind with lies and false hope
And celebrate with jubilee and harvest, at least their pockets are filled with gold
My time has come, back to that cruel world I return
Oh someone save me! Make my heart beat no more.

Melancholic Born

Why is thy doth of perfectionism?
Melancholic's bore her not
Emeralds, sapphires, diamonds in a row
In April prime, lives her through
Her amulet sparkled like Indian's birthstone
To the glory of her, her alone
She's demure sometimes arduous
You cannnot fetter her like chain of Troy's barbaric men
By Helen's cry and things subside
One, two, three, and deep she carrying the stone
And twa's doomed
She asked, How do I live and die?
For my God, I live in thine.

He Played His '''Perfected'''

pips pine poses perfect perfectly perfected perfecting perfectionism perfectionistly so he played his harp only heard in the dark shadows shattered rest broken by silences test waves wane on sound vibrations are bound touching chaotic'ing realms brushing neurotic'ing whelms blushing arts streaming scars prancing like gleaming shards glancing with seeming stars romancing loves branded regaurds only heard in the dark he played his harp ?

Premium Member blank canvas

I love a blank canvas
how it focuses the eyes.

It’s black and white without
the usual vestige of messy
attention-grabbing details.

We’ll color those in later,
spending our creative time
whitewashing it with the precision
of our own nervous perfectionism.

We’ll strip away minimalism for cultural
resonance and focus the razor attention
of ‘couture’ obsession and wider comment.
