Practical Perfection are poems written by Celesia Parker. There are poems inspired by other poets that I have recognized and I give enhanced recognition to Mosi Wells who gave me a special gift by permitting me to use a line from a sentence in his poem "Call Of The Wild" that was published in Open Skies Journal Volume One as part of the introduction for Practical Perfection. Practical Perfection is a collection of contemporary poetry and also thanks to my high school English teacher, Mrs. Travis who enhanced my learnings from Mrs. Landry by opening my eyes to think outside the box with creative writing and introductions to the works of Maya Angelou. This enlightment was fulfilled when I found works of Merrit Malloy as well. Practical Perfection is somewhat based on my experiences with a lot of exaggeration added to all the hearbreaks, happiness, wonderment, and hopes women have. Practical Perfection is not intended to influence. Practical Perfection was created for a readers enjoyment. The book is titled Practical Perfection because I like to exaggerate my practical trait. HA! Please enjoy this reading journey Practicle Perfection has in store for you. Thank you, Celesia Parker
