Best Word Perfect Poems

Her laugh is so melodious, a siren song, crashing ships and stealing hearts. 
She's stolen my heart.
Yet you can't steal something that's already yours.

When an old fashioned poet named Will
wrote a sonnet he chose words to thrill,
in a metrical time
with a word perfect rhyme
fourteen lines gently flowed from his quill.

This William he also wrote plays
that reflected the life in those days,
from Scotland McBeth
then to Denmark for death,
that Prince...

There are tears in her eyes
As the door slams and the glass rattles
And she watches his retreating back:
His tight, hunched shoulders
Containing his anger and frustration.

Until he comes home again
Calmer, like he always does.

I was prepared
I had it all planned out
Every word
Every gesture
Meticulously rehearsed
Till word perfect

I was prepared
For excitement
Unconfined joy
Tears of happiness

For your reaction
Your unkind words
Your gestures
Tears of laughter
And utter rejection...

when timid...

but maybe her mother, just to see how she is doing, 
opens a door in her mind again.
Dead mother, in her very special way, still cares.

When young, very young,
she was taken on long silent walks
to the emergency room;

A Perfectionist sees where Perfection is not,
Often not seeing what they had ought. 
For the word Perfect means a great lot 
So stop being Perfect, accept it, you’re not.
