Small Stone #5 January 2013

flower

uneven colour

stamen bent, different lengths, pointing in directions as if confused,

petals torn, twisted, varied shapes

these imperfections are what make her beautiful I think,

as I look down and tear off a broken fingernail

      1. WHAT!!!!? You’re not one of my 10,000 Australian viewers? I have to check the NZ numbers … if they were abysmal, I’ll blame you. 😆

  1. I like the comparison you did with the fingernail. 😉 Perfection is an illusion, but I agree 100% that it’s the imperfections that make us (and the flowers) beautiful.
