Array ( [sid] => 18202 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => they aren't perfect [time] => 2003-05-29 09:35:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => the sun rises softly
above my neighbor's roof
my cat scratches at the window
to be let out the front door
to witness
the roses open to the day
my other neighbor
(early riser)
quenches his lawn's thirst
helping the morning dew

the sun hits my eyes
(not so softly, for they are blue)
as sprinklers startle me
freeway nearby
(didn't realize I was so used to it)
my roses, so pretty~
deep red, peach, yellow and pink
but look closely
they aren't perfect
just like me and you

Good morning. it's good to wake up to roses even if they aren't perfect. It's good to wake up to notice each other; that we aren't perfect.
Nice waking up poem.

Chuck.

No better way to see imperfections than first thing in the morning. But it's love when you look there and still lose your breath. Well said.

In the morning dew
I think of you
In our flowers
happy hours
togetherness
love I guess


Close inspections
imperfections
know they're there
don't register
no part to play
in our day

I really liked this poem. I saw and felt everything you did, especially the roses...through their imperfection, they're perfect!

Yes, you betcha. The spirit of this poem (that we don't look closely enough) is that of acceptance of flaws. A beautiful idea and not enough put forth. Blessings.
