Imperfection
For Heather's 'Unscramble Challenge'
Introduction
This is for Heather's challenge that you can read below:
I thought about the word "Perfect", then "Perfection" and then to increase the number of letters "Perfectionism". Then I reread the rules (you know men never read instructions but maybe I am not a real man, just some subhuman knuckle dragger) and thought "Perfection" is ten characters and "Perfectionism" is thirteen characters, but my ideas were formed for a villanelle, What could I do? Obviously, add two letters to the beginning, and find out that Salvador Dali was right.
My work never nears perfection and I know that but I am happy with it, it is perfect for me and I do like the sort of meme taken for the title:

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.

This is a lovely villanelle. Great entry.
A great entry, Mike, well done π
Whoaaaa, you actually wrote a Villanelle for this! You're so freaking brilliant and always perfect!
Whether perfectly imperfect or imperfectly perfect, we are who we are & that's good enough.
Wow, this is impactful. Great poem and writing, Mike!
Great work, and yes, the most important thing is definitely that you are proud and happy with what you do, because no matter how hard you try, your work will not be perfect for everyone.
