This acrostic loop poem about a lack of PERFECTION, follows the vertical formatting and finds that one's need to be without flaw becomes a dig that no one feels but us.

There is nothing to fear, but fear itself! This is a clever acrostic/loop poem, neatly presented showing us that your flaw is fear, we all suffer, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I think this is a very good poem for the I Am Not Perfect contest.
I think we all have a somewhat flawed perfection.
Well written, well done and good luck to you with the contest.

Excellent poem. Congratulations on writing such a difficult poem. You were very clever to write a poem of this style. You didn't need an image to show how great the poem is. Well penned, great job. Good luck in the contest. ~Brenda

This work has reached the exceptional level

"Perfection" is amazing. An acrostic that loops, as well. What an achievement. From the first line, you have me hooked. I like the term, "clouded expectation". It is an unusual way to describe it but, I 'get' what you mean. Then the term, "brightens" sounds positive, but your rejection is your "darkest flaw", so, I now, can see the opposites you use to describe your features. Very creative. Another phrase I like is "Imagination blinding my objective". You are articulate with your descriptions, which add flavor to the piece. So, your imagination blinds you from noticing rejection as your greatest flaw. Thus, you possess flawed perfection. I like the way you lead me through, and end up, with the last word being, the title and theme of the poem. Well written with a revealing personal message. I enjoyed reading this a lot. Thank you for sharing, and for putting in the effort to explain, your main flaw, through the means of an acrostic loop poem.
Take care, Jesse

    Wow! your review and encouraging comments are just wonderful, sadly the "CEC" did not like (rejection) being a flaw, I have changed a couple of words in this poem to try and satisfy them, if not I shall take it out of the prompt and return it to the original post, I would like your opinion on this as I want to stay true to this/the best and most helpful review I have recieved

    My opinion is, it is great just the way it is. If I were you, I'd stay true to my muse and forget about the 'prompt' if they don't like it the way it is. But that's me. You do what you feel in your gut is right.
    Take care, Jesse

Thank you for sharing it.

Author such a fantastic entry into the I am not perfect contest. Perfectionism is a terrible affliction as it can lead to absolutely never getting anything finished. You've added an additional touch of OCD by using not only an acrostic, but also a loop poem which lends some humour to the flaw. lol

Best of luck to you in the voting booth. This is most clever.

A very well-written acrostic poem about perfection. To be
Perfect in every way is extremely hard work. If we are all perfect without any flaws there will be nothing to work on.

This certainly meets the requirements of the contest along with a plus being the Loop type poem you have created. A very flowing narrative. Well done.
