When the Chinese made
a circle of stones on the top of their wells
one would be a little skewed to make the circle
look more round. Irregularity is the secret
of music and to the voice of great poetry.
—Jack Gilbert
from “The Secret,” The Dance Most of All (Alfred A. Knopf, 2009)

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
