A messy bouquet of wildflowers
Grasped tightly in his hand
Is scattering petals everywhere
And burying my welcome mat.
Tying them together
A simple piece of yellowed yarn
With a tiny hand-made card.
Charming despite its uneven edges
And the cliché statement inside.
(I like you lots and lots)
As with the flowers and the card
The boy himself is rumpled.
His hair, with a mind of its own
Has decided to rebel.
His loose blue shirt is buttoned
But one has come undone...
And, poor thing, he hasn't noticed.
It's completely inside out!
Oh dearie me! Yet it's so sweet.
(He stands a minute, staring)
And when I called to his attention
That he hadn't said 'hello'
He blushed, -I almost laughed aloud-
But tried to save his pride.
It's so charming, in my eyes
I don't care what you think.
Imperfection is my style
Because, odd though it is,
I find it shamelessly endearing.
Imperfection is perfection...
Author notes
written for a contest
It's just meant to be cute. A light-hearted something, that actually didn't take too long..but I'm happy with it anyway.
Hmm..as for a nickname for him...I think I'd have to give a teasing smile, and call him Mr. Perfect.

I love these lines; "Tying them together
A simple piece of yellowed yarn
With a tiny hand-made card." Again, a lovely picture. Love it.
