“ Being Perfect ”
– within ones imperfections –
– revisited –
There’s perfection
In my intent,
And high purpose
Of objectives,
Tho often I fail reach
Dedication I so seek,
That which heighten
Held pursuit
To avoid mediocrity,
Ever poised to posture
Over looming insufficiency…
Thus I struggle
To construct,
Words of import
As meritorious I must,
Apposed in a fashion
To inspire interaction,
Being perfect my resolve,
Like a more inspired fellow
May find within ones imperfections!

Poetry on a Canapé 
Your poem speaks to me, as I have struggled with perfectionism for a long time.
Ah perfectionism, I know of what you speak, as the inspiration for this scribble, was as you may imagine, close to home. Though more the getting out than getting in, of said perfect…where a happy medium seems hard to find. If that should come to pass, and you still struggle I’ll send it on to you, my friend.
Happy days!
Jean-Jacques
