Oh yes! Don't we all have imperfections, but isn't the imperfections what make us imperfectly perfect? I love the one liner though! Short, straight to the point and the use of the words "well sewn" gives us an idea that the person has imperfections hard to get rid of! But imperfections can be someone else's perfection :) Thanks for sharing!

You are most welcome!
Yes imperfections in us all
Some hide it or mend better than others
Ooohh The hems gone down or the linings torn
Doesn’t mean it’s not a good garment afterall

Loved this short write it speaks volume of materials excuse my pun

Cool, thank you, Willweb.
So many emotions in one little sentence, it really leads the reader to think, "What kind of imperfections does this girl have?" I once heard someone say that "imperfections" were what made a person perfect. Like...your uniqueness is what makes a person "Uniquely you" (I think that's a makeup slogan lol)
I've never really thought of a one-liner being a whole poem, but this one line really speaks volumes, thank you for sharing :)

Thank you :)
so much said in one sentence. nice job. join the club. perfect is obnoxious. those aren't imperfections, those are the things that make us unique and lovable or 'hateable' depending on how you look at it. think how awful life would be if we were all the same. what would we even talk about? ... :)
