Im-perfection

Who is the perfect poet?

I surely cannot be judge of that

What is a perfect poem?

Again, I am but a lowly thief of words

incapable of literature beyond borrowed sentences

The one thing I know

is that beyond rhyme and rhythm,

pun and metaphor

the perfect poem holds a soul

and while her body might defy logic

this soul conveys intention

like this rambling about words and weavers

asking you to please have a drink with me?
