(Poem #2 and I guess I should make it clear that the inspiration is seeing how some people respond to posts and comments. I’m sure we’ll all guilty of at least one of these at some point in our lives. Though, arguing that could result in you falling to this one. :D)
I am clearly perfection
The mistakes of others
Are beyond my ability
Your messes
Will never touch my life
For I am careful
And cautious
So that I act
With untainted excellence
To err is human
Is a ridiculous phrase
Unless I
Am above humanity
A superior species
Who never strays
From beautiful
Unsullied
Perfection




PERFECT, Charles!

Well said! I think of this notion whenever I read some reviews by people who have never written a book or a TV script, but still consider themselves experts in both media.

Same here. Many talk about writing and publishing being so easy. Then you find out they never tried it themselves.

Yes. That’s why I make errors on everything I write.

I really like this. It reminds me of Hawk Roosting by Ted Hawks (without all the nature stuff!)

That made me smile, Charles.
Of course we are all perfection, and never make mistakes.
That thought is probably why the world is in such a mess.

The mentality is definitely high on the list of global issues. Though greed and hatred might be bigger sources.
