The poem begins with an oxymoron: sweet disorder. In reality, this is true, the world prefers disorder. It's a proven chemical/biological process called entropy. Entropy measures the amount of chaos in a system, and the world prefers disorder. However, beyond science, this is true of society. many people travel each year to visit the leaning tower of Pisa? Why? Because it has imperfection, there is a chance it might fall. A more prevalent example are today's style of jeans. We don't want them perfect, we want them ripped, teared and with holes. This explains the concept of Delight in Disorder. The author pulls off disorder in his poem by his structure. Many of the rhymes of his poem are imperfect. Only lines 1 and 2, 9 and 10, and 13 and 14 rhyme. The rest of the lines are inconsistent. Overall, this disorder is a natural part of life.
