Imperfection
R Bennett Okerstrom
I need an answer to my questions,
Live my life without suggestion,
I often hope for thought projection,
To only lose out to direction.
What is a flaw without correction?
The same as sex without erection.
A hurricane without convection,
Yields to those with some protection.
No life is lived out to perfection,
A wave to ruin a clear reflection,
The money from a tax collection,
Will not be used to show affection.

"Interesting style. I must admit that I have not seen this kind of style in quite some time. Exellent choice of wording and usage." -- Stuart, Cambridge, MA.
"Nobody's perfect!" -- R. Bennett.
"You are extremely talented. Have you published? Maybe you should." -- mia angello, WI.
"Thanks for the compliment. I haven't published anything yet. Maybe I should." -- R. Bennett.
"Love the style, love the wording...." -- Michelle.
"Oh my I must have had this stuck in my head. Sorry to be a copy-cat. It was totally unintentional. Want me to delete?" -- Michelle.
"You don't have to delete yours by any means. I am flattered that something I created stuck in your head enough that you subconsciously wrote something similar. It's really flattering. " -- R. Bennett .
"i love this piece, it's a pity that some people have forgotten that life isn't perfect- without order nothing can exist, without chaos nothing can evolve....it's nice to just exist for once and not worry about every little thing, if you did you might forget to live and what a shame that would be..." -- kat, Australia.
"jesus benett...rhyming poetry!!! um the poem sucks people. what was the point? and don't say it had no point because sometimes life should have no point also...i will find and beat you :)" -- sunny, dc, usa.
"Sunny, thanks for your support. It's ok to revert back to a simple rhyme scheme. Maybe it isn't as "cool" as my other pieces, but my goal was to utilize words that all ended in "tion" -- they don't necessarily rhyme." -- R. Bennett.
"Bennett dear, I hate to mention, I'm not sure if it's your intention, Your voice has taken a new inflection. Though it may be your contention, It doesn't make the same connection." -- Royal D.
"That's funny..." -- R. Bennett.
