haha Excellent write! I can relate all too well as I'm sure many poets can. I too live under the curse of perfectionism but I'm learning to be easier on myself. Enjoying your work... Chanti
Sometimes just the stream of our heart, untampered with, is closest to perfection! Wonderful poem Nikki, sage thoughts.

perfection is indeed a ruse ... as so as we attain its desired state, it becomes stagnant ... on the other hand imperfection can be beneficial since its still in motion, striving to become complete ...
"...perfection the snake." L o v e it. Also love the jab at perfectionism. Often guilty of the arrogant thought that I can "perfect" a piece, I end up ruining it by over-editing.
Thanks for reinforcing my determination to cut that s___tuff out.;0

What a beautiful piece you have penned here, Nicole. Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Never expect perfection, because you will always be let down. Strive for the best and perfection will shine through.

Dear Nicole,
Expectations of perfection usually end in disappointment. Let us all just say "we strive in every moment to do the best we can" and make that our goal. If we act with sincerity, we always reach our goal. A warm welcome back!
"Perfection becomes obsolete"... long before it is ever found. And why? Because, as you so wisely say, dearest Nikki... "even gods behold not perfection", and, as we say here in Portugal, "the optimum is an enemy of the good". I absolutely love this, and what a glorious return, my friend!

A beautiful tightly layered work of art. THE RUSE OF PERFECTION functions equally well as meditation on creativity and as an insightful commentary on the human spiritual condition. Greatly enjoyed the read.
Deep ontologic thoughts strike teleological feelings in "The Ruse of Perfection". It is a magnificent poem delivering a tray of wise fruits for the mind.
Very intense and provacative prose. There are no seeds of perfection in this perfect place we call earth. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and creativity. My best, Gloria
