Mistakes
If 90% is fine
I focus on the 10%
And think
Time to abandon ship
It was all a waste of time
Burn it to the ground
Sift through the ashes
And see what you’ve found
Devastation
Give it a minute
That 90% was pretty great
Use the remainder
To learn and grow
And know this
Nobody else has spotted
The bits you didn’t like
Some people even
Prefer the mistakes

Thoughts
I’ve spent the last month building a new website. This is it. I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time but search engines, help pages, forums and YouTube get’s me 90% of the way there. And then there is the last 10% where text moves around, seemingly at will. pictures disappear and reappear in the wrong place.
Today’s poem is all about that last 10%.
