Poetry Prompt #13

Hey there everyone, I hope your Monday has been off to a good start!

Today is the first Monday of November, and therefore the first Poetry Prompt Monday of the month. Is there any significance to that? No, but I figure, why not point it out 🤷‍♂️

Anyways, this week I’m using another poetry prompt from my Write the Poem journal. I know I’ve been using the same source for my prompt inspiration, but I keep finding good word prompts in there! Now that I got that out of the way, here’s this weeks prompt:

Prompt:	Word Associations:
Imperfection	Flaw Uniqueness Foible Blemish Shortcoming Nature Defect Marred

Now here is what I came up with for this week, I hope you enjoy!

---

I live a life,

Where I want everything to be fixed.

Wipe away the blemish,

Which has found a place,

Comfortably resting on my existence.

Destroy the imperfection,

Permeating my otherwise perfect existence.

Is that really true though,

That by fixing one flaw,

My life will be perfect?

In the past,

Life always manages to find a way,

To keep anything from being perfect.

Otherwise,

How else would I manage to remain so humble?

How else can I crush myself,

Underneath the weight of my insecurity?

Thank you for reading through my post, and I will be back on Wednesday, but this time with a special announcement 😉

On that note, have a good rest of your Monday, and I will talk to Wednesday!
