Imperfection

A crack in the crystal

A chip in the china

maladroitly mishandled

There is a certain beauty 

to their blemishes

Something fascinating 

in their flaws

Scars are stories

engaging epics

There is poetry 

in imperfection

A sensational sonnet

in my reflection

Superb! You use grand words without melodrama, yet have created a fine drama of how the imperfect can have its own character - perhaps a mysticism because perfection is too often the ultimate goal for what is bes Think the comparison of a face with Life lines or a Protected Tree and its majestic bark. Your words hint at kind of glory. 'There is poetry - in imperfection'

How very true. Great sonnet!?.
