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%.

Black Country, New Road opening for Nick Cave back in 2024.
