This week’s challenge is to write a story, limerick or poem on the subject of:
Love
Last week’s challenge was to write about lies. You sent in some strong pieces. Here are a few:
As always, Keith Channing gets in first with something witty:
The greatest of sins is mendacity,
Far better to stick to veracity.
But don’t feign surprise
If you catch me in lies;
I mean well, but lack the capacity.
I’m thrilled to see EDC Writing joining in this week:
To be sucked in
you cross a line
left best a fool
at worst ignored
let conscience air
not skewed desire
step back save face
no mirror lies.
Kevin is up next with a powerful poem:
A secret fire.
Their desire
Must
Out
In lust.
They can not shout
About
Their passion, for Pretty Eyes
Is another guy’s
Special one.
Truth has gone
A-walking.
And soon people will be talking
About Pretty Eyes
And her lies.
