What do you think of this paraphrase of the poem "Poems of Our Climate"?

It's definitely nothing golden or professional, it's just for English class. I was wondering if it was efficient for an assignment or at least made sense.. it was similar to the examples he gave. Here it is,

People see perfection as being simple, beautiful, and delicate. It seems magical and flawless compared to our lives because it is composed solely of beauty and clarity, which is a relief after living a life of darkness and gloom. Even so, people aren't necessarily content with the beautiful image of perfection. It would be dull and boring; it would be lonely and fragile.

Flawlessness, although delightful, *isn't enough to actually satisfy anyone. Even though it heals every problem and hides every obstacle, still it would fall short of our high expectations. One needs more than a basic, single-toned life.

If everything was perfect and absolute, no one would be very happy. We would feel uneasy at the thought of eerie perfection and would want to revert back to when life had dimension and color. Since we are so used to being flawed and problematic creatures, nothing else will ever satisfy us.
