Magnificently Flawed

if only we could centre these little scribbles ..

Magnificently Flawed

Although
at first, she seemed
beautiful yet small, like some
little gem perhaps, it very soon became
more apparent to him that she had more flaws
than both the Empire State Building and Post Office towers ..

Hi Neville, I do like the play on words here. The title “Magnificently Flawed” could hint at the fact that he is almost relieved to find the imperfections. I think they make us more human. But then maybe he just realised she was so very false. There is more than one way to look at this piece. Which makes it all the more fun to read my friend 

Many thanks for sharing your clever little write 😊

I am more than just grateful Gwen I am made up by the fact you have looked beyond the printed word and considered other possibilities ..
I wonder, did you by any chance spot the deliberate play on words .. 

Many thanks back at you for the kind consideration and in depth perusal 😊

Are you meaning about the fact the empire state building has many floors? Maybe she has many layers to her? I mean she is a gem, maybe she comes with many facets? 🙃 there is a lot that could be going on in this fab little piece x

Playing with the word "write" too Neville 🙃 I won't pick a goldfish, wouldn't want to trap it in a tank. I don't smoke, so I will opt for the tasty coconut please, its a good healing food too. Plus I could always make myself a fresh coconut  Piña Colada hehe 🍹🥳🙂

A clever write Neville. A diamond is a gem and flaws make them more valuable I believe. Perhaps this lady sparkled all the more for her flaws. Your writing is always very clever x

This made me smile lol...haven't we all been here, still...I often find it comforting that we are indeed all so flawed...well, I certainly am. You know though...I heard a lovely phrase the other day...God knows where...it was this...'it is the cracks that let the light in'
this Comforts me on the rare occasions I review all my wrinkles 😁😆😆 x
