Charming poem! I chuckled a little at the ending, where you chant "Oh God" haha. The poem totally made me feel the joy of a brisk horseback ride through the mountains. And I've never even had that experience before!

I hear you Barbara, but you know what they say: art is never finished, it is abandoned. Furthermore from my vantage point (I am a biologist) imperfections are the warp and woof of life. They tell a unique story about each individual and the process that resulted in them and their species coming into being on this world. Imperfections are the story within the story. Now, I am not saying this is totally applicable to art, nor am I am encouraging you to be sloppy. However there comes a point where you reach an area of diminishing returns. So I say leave that last 1% the way it is and make more time for other stuff.

Take care.
