Many thanks, Rae!! I think we try to imagine it and create it.

It must be a natural impulse to reorder the world.

I think we catch glimpses of perfection; fleeting though they may be

perhaps enough to fuel us onwards toward greater skies.
Well written and thought inducing sonnet, Tony.

Hi Troosha - thanks. I tried again with the same theme tonight!

Tony

I thought this was quite clever. I like the image of the plain white sheet of paper unflawed until we muck with it.

To be honest, Straightforward, I didn't really do justice to the idea.

I might have another go at it now!

I'd prefer a black page to an unwritten virgin white page; the latter is

certainly not my version of perfection.

Hi Tony, great to be back again, and congrats on your triple century.

The biggest imperfection of perfection is that it is lifeless. Somehow there is a beauty in imperfection. Don't you agree? In my yesterday's post, I have attempted to answer some very relevant points you made on the transmigration of the soul.

Hi Notapoet - you've got a hell of a lot of catching up to do!!!!!

Hi folks - thanks for reading.

I confess to being a bit tired last night, so I rushed it. It started off nicely with the blank page idea, but then because I was having a couple of beers before bed time, I lazily drifted into talking about that instead of something more interesting - sorry!

Congrats on #300.

It's going to take me a while to catch up on all the ones I've missed. I read a few back tonight, but like you I'm approaching the time for some sleep. You'll have to fill me in on the nickname change sometime when we're both awake and lucid.

A very good poem,

I loved that the page is blank and we merely stain it with ink, invisioned thought, and I loved it. Wouldn't it be perfect if we didn't have to write thoughts, they were just known?
