PERFECTION?: a shaped poem

HOME

SEVEN DREAMS
DON'T NEED YOU
HOW IT FEELS TO BE UNATHLETIC ME
THE UNBEATABLE PAIN
THE TOURNAMENT
A DAY IN THE LIFE
PERFECTION?

One

single droplet

of the purest water

floats down through the

silent air, as if suspended in

time. We all watch this, in its un-

scathed perfection, free of dirtiness and

corruption. A fragile microcosm of the world

we all long for so much, one that we want to

attain so much but cannot, this last symbol of

of purity and flawlessness is nearing its de-

mise. All watch with silent screams, for

they know that the perfect shape

and form of the pure droplet

will be nothing more

 

when

 

it

 

 

                           hits.

NOTES: This was the first time I really had direction on any assignment in the term, and I was quite pleased with the result. The "droplet" as I now call it, has always represented innocence, purity, and perfection, but when it hits the ground, it's just a puddle. So it's just an idea I have been thinking about for a long time and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to express it.
