Dodecahedron
For Heather's 'Unscramble Challenge'
Introduction
This is for Heather's challenge that you can read below:
I had a few more ideas for this including "Temptation" and "Resolution" but they are both only ten letters and we need twelve for the word, and then "Dodecahedron". I was surprised to find two Wiki definitions for it as I just thought it was a twelve-faced 3D object.
This was meant to be a geometry-based poem but it got hijacked by the Cenobites from Clive Barker's "Hellraiser"
While going through Vocal's Poetry tags for some reason, Pantoum caught my eye. This is my ninth one after my significant date series that finished here:
The music is "Dodecahedron" by Daal
Dodecahedron

Imperfection
Introduction This is for Heather's challenge that you can read below: I thought about the word "Perfect", then "Perfection" and then to increase the number of letters "Perfectionism". Then I reread the rules (you know men never read instructions but maybe I am not a real man, just some subhuman knuckle dragger) and thought "Perfection" is ten characters and "Perfectionism" is thirteen characters, but my ideas were formed for a villanelle, What could I do? Obviously, add two letters to the beginning, and find out that Salvador Dali was right.

Interesting choice of 12 letter word… The things I’m learning on Vocal!😃… had to Google pantoum… want to attempt one now!! The music clip adds great atmosphere!✅
Ohh, this was so cool!! I loved what you did with the word and image. And wow, it turned a little dark, but I was there for it!!
Gotta admit the darkness in this appealed to my soul 😂 Brilliant challnege entry and love-love-love the cover image!
