"This statement is a lie."

-

Title, picture or both is(are?) the prompt/s.

10 entries.
10 lines.

Take it anyway you can as long as it abides these rules:

1) No profanity, erotica, abuse, adult content and, ermm, you get what I mean.
2) 10 LINES, obviously.
3) Theme should be relevant at least? To me, both of them seem hard to pen about since they're both examples of a wonderful paradox but we'll see.
4) No abstract and/or surrealism- I might get confused, haha.

Will add points depending on the entries and will delete this contest if there are no or few entries entered in it.

Ok, that's all; enjoy, free that philosophical inner self of yours . . . or something ~



P.S. Just in case: yes, you can reserve but finish it before the contest closes, keii?

    One Creates Another

    One creates another
    The first completes the other
    Lines can be drawn to mean
    More than the artest ment to be seen
    The larger picture can only be seen be trained eyes
    But from others it comes as a great suprize
    When they suddenly realize
    The powerful picture that others could easily reconize
    Was right in front of their faces
    All found in these works of art, of wich we in persue grand chases.

    Hey I wrote this just for u since i heard that u wanted deep thoughtful poetry. message me when u get the chance, ok?
