The power of Thought,—the magic of the Mind!~ Lord Byron
A blog for the book IMPERFECT: a poetry anthology for middle schoolers about mistakes
How can we make the most of useful mistakes and do our best to fix the ones that need fixing? Poetry can help us figure it out.

At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.
~ Eric HofferA poem and photo by Molly Hogan:
WITHIN IMPERFECT
If you forever seek perfect,
you may instead discover a recipe
for dissatisfaction--a price
too high to remit.
But within imperfect is a permit
to take risks, to light a fire
of creativity, to be bold and fierce.
When you embrace imperfect,
you set yourself free.
