Favorite Quote:
“If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.”
~ by Sylvia Plath, (from The Bell Jar)


An easy thing

is beautiful art,

made to look

inexpert,

 

genuine;

like the branching

outline of the

actual leaf --

 

expression;

somewhat akin to

life. Not always

understood.

 

Not always

within the scope

of ordinary

taste;

 

In fact,

such beauty may

be the most

potent.


The author's comments:

"Beautiful" is not synonymous with "perfect". I wanted to illustrate that point in a poem.
