Comments : The Poet’s Due

    I agree with the essence of this piece, Bob. I also believe that a poet is due an awful lot of heartbreak and misery which is the balance they must pay for finding so much beauty (more perhaps than others) in so many things.
    One point - "who find beauty in imperfection"? Not sure.

    Anyway, I'm nominating this one because I truly understand it,

      "who find beauty in imperfection"? Not sure.
      Most likely because perfection is only assumed, it is not real Because then after time would stop because there would no progress after perfection unless the perfection itself is relative.

      Thank you so much ben for the compliment and your time. Also the nomination.

      lol, Bob. No, I understood, but I was pointing out a possible typo. You have written 'imperfect' and I wondered whether you meant 'imperfection'. Also, the nomination is a pleasure.

      Okay, I got you. I meant imperfect ( objects) rather than the act of imperfection. They both mean the same thing but the points of emphasis is different, I suppose.
      Thanks again
