Beautiful Imperfection
An poem about being wondrously imperfect
Beautiful imperfection is a coffee mug
a little oversized
with an oddly shaped handle
Hands wrapped around, it's as soothing and warm as any old mug
yet somehow,
more comforting in ways you can't explain
Beautiful imperfection is pottery molded by a first-time potterer
as it transforms into a peculiar shape
ugly, amusing,
yet beautifully unique
A true work of art
Beautiful imperfection is a young child's drawing
oddly drawn, colors don't make sense
stick figures arms are longer than the other
Yet a wondrous masterpiece as it hangs on the fridge
It is the way some fruit grows on the tree
deformed, different from the others
often overlooked
yet just as tasty as the normal looking ones,
maybe if not more
Beautiful imperfection is … you!

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

aww, what a wonderful poem to remind us today that our imperfections are what makes us uniquely beautiful 🥰 Thanks for sharing this~
This is perfectl perfect <3 Beautifully written <3
It’s so crazy how we love the things that are imperfect like an oversized coffee mug with an oddly shaped handle, we may even put it on display or use it. But as soon as we exhibit anything close to this… imperfection….we destroy ourselves, we become a built in bully. I like the choice of imagery, zooming in on the imperfect things. Learning how to say they are beautiful. Just like that white flower. I like the examples too, the first time potterer. A child’s drawing. The fruits, oh especially the fruits. This was a nurturing piece, catering to my mental health. Thank you! I’ve got an active internal bully that won’t shut up sometimes. Well done and thank you once again. Your free verse was a huge help, these types of poetry is always needed 🙏🏽👏🏽👌🏽
Very inspiring and heartfelt poem! It generates beautiful emotions.
