This haiku is all commentary and no observation. It is not vivid because you don't include sense information -- no sound, sights, smells. You use long vague concepts instead of concrete specific objects. An 'imperfect beauty' is not an objective thing. That's the author's imagination and commentary upon...whatever it is he's looking at. What is he looking at? A woman? A pot? A painting? It's not clear. This poem should be reconceived.

This is so beautiful! The usage of female pronoun evoking a shattered face, contrasted with the glorious aesthetic of the golden repairs in broken pottery. The perfect blend of wabi-sabi, the objective, and humanity. A finely crafted work. :)
