the best art is squint
it’s ever so slightly off
making you want to reach inside
and straighten,
adjust
.
the best art is incomplete
missing some vital piece
a line of beauty to enhance
it’s design
.
the best art is imperfect
it’s ever so slightly off
it makes you want to improve it
and alter,
adjust

I think this is true for all types of art, including what we do as writers. Allow readers to make their own interpretations and think about how they would have written it. Those are my favorite kind of stories
Not me misreading squint as squirt. Goes well with your cover pic too 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside, your poem was, shall I say, perfect? All your poems and writings are perfect to me!
Loved this poem! It’s so true, the art I think about the most is exactly Iike this
YES! This is so true! I think of the art that really Impacted me and it always had something slightly off- just like you said!!!
Yes!!! This is so true! The books that make you chuck them at the sofa at least once 🫣🫣🤣
Hi, I thought this was gonna be about how if you squint art looks better! 👀 🖼 I don’t even know what I’m on about, but there was something else I read today on vocal about imperfection, but I can’t remember who it was by. Anyhow, this is great Kayleigh & relevant.. and I honestly feel like I see a face in the image above..if I squint! 😅😆
The title and the fact it was by you drew me in! so good and so true!
This is what makes us different than robots/AI... we find beauty in imperfection. Great poem Kayleigh
This is really good! A sense of hope and future delight. I reckon there's a lot more best out there!
