I Never Made Such Mistakes

(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

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    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.

  3. I always appreciate when the perfect ones find my errors. It makes me feel good that they are fulfilled.

    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.
