(Not Always) Perfection

The plot is not always perfection,
The words not quite polished to glow,
Some headed in backwards direction,
But, sometimes, a flaw needs to show,
Not all writes can shine as a diamond,
Immortalised in glinting gold,
If every piece was simply perfect,
I tell you, it would get quite old,
This world needs a couple of diamonds,
A couple of gems are quite fine,
But, if the world shone with perfection,
The eyes that write would be left blind,
You need a few ink spots,
To fall on the page,
An odd syllable here and there,
A couple
of. s p a c e s
Where they don't belong,
It's okay to skip a rhyme here,
and
here,
and
here,
and
here,
again
and
again
and
again,
Don't worry if the words you write,
Don't come out quite how you designed,
Just go with the flow,
Even if you don't know,
What tricks the flow,
Does to your mind.

Doodlewords

My poems are just doodlewords, They don't take long to write. I observe the world around me, By ear, by nose or sight. By then my brain has started, To note a line or two.

Urge

It's late at night. But I had an urge to write. Sometimes I get these itches. Ripping me like broken stitches. So I make a rhyme. To past the time. Or because words start to flow.

Not About Rank

It doesn't matter. What ranking I am. What matters the most. I've done the best that I can. I like writing my jibber. Creating new stuff. If you don't like them. I guess it is tough.

@naaviie we don't always need perfection...

@Nom perfection doesn't exist, or is it imperfections that make things 'perfect'?

@naaviie perfection does exist. It's just that it is unattainable.
