Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I&#039;m neurotic as hell. I&#039;ll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.&rdquo; <br /> ~ 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.
