No place for perfection in poetry





No place for perfection in poetry
(an imperfect rondeauy palindrome)

No place for perfection in poetry
form flowing from wisped whispers
rustling leaves burst, blossom -fall
in spaces between beating blood
running hot and chilled pulsing-
horror, honor, mud, manna - all
No place for perfection in poetry
language of love, lusty mess of life-
yearning, yawps and yarns spun
filamented fibers floating - flying
weaves in and about and through -
back again–again until the tapestry
Time and vision written across -
the stars of navied night blaze –No.
No place for perfection in poetry

No place for perfection in poetry
the stars of navied night blaze –No.
Time and vision written across -
back again-again until the tapestry
weaves in and about and through
filamented fibers floating - flying
yearning, yawps, and yarns spun  
language of love, lusty mess of life
No place for perfection in poetry
horror, honor, mud, manna - all
running hot and chilled pulsing -
in spaces between beating blood
rustling leaves burst, blossom - fall
form flowing from wisped whispers -

    Pearl, if this poem isn't perfection then it is pretty darn close. This is just a beauty to read.
