If you must tell a lie, do so well - Lies likely fall apart Often crumbling due to bumbling A speakers deadly demise My passion is the lonely lie Lone creates shine A lie must deliver cleverly Or all would align -
A poetic imitation of Emily Dickinson's "Tell all the truth but tell it slant" I did for my poetry class.
“We play at paste, Till qualified for pearl, Then drop the paste, And deem ourself a fool. The shapes, though, were similar, And our new hands Learned gem-tactics Practising sands.”
