Um...personally, I didn't like this piece much. I think that the wording could have been a bit better.

nicely don

I didn't realise it was an accrostic either.

Heehehe love it! Clever stuff. I could debate with you about it but it's late and I'm tired. It's the kind of topic that always has to be left open ended because there are a myriad of ways of looking at it. Such as that the innocent compliment might have no veracity but if it's innocent the one saying must think it does, so is it truth if the person saying it thinks it is even though they might be saying 'you have lovely purple hair' though the hair is pink?
Thought I wasn't going to debate it!
It's very intelligent anway. (my comments are lousy this time of night!) See ya in tha tomb!
Love, light & peace

Hi Georgia thanks for your comment I've had a brilliant day today reading........ Truth, I think I was meaning we all lie sometimes. Who can honestly say they always tell the truth. I don't mean saying pink when something is clearly purple cos that kind of thing is subjective. I guess I mean flattery that can lead someone down the wrong path, maybe towards hurt and disolusionment (sp?). We even lie to ourselves eahh!! See ya. Swan x

OHHHHHHHH and ITS an ACrostic...well...even more Kudos to you!
-
I seek out the truthseekers today...I have no room for liars anymore...for I used to lie with the best of them...that was then, this is now...trudge on! Awesomely honest write here! good job! good luck! Love these short writes...my fav!
-
You did a great job with this poem, and describing the truth that "he lied" i didn't even realize until after I had read it that it was an acrostic, which made me fall even more in love with it! great write!

I thought this poem was a great attempt to slam home a point. You have set forth a great poem and it was in a short blast. Awesome write. Your flow and the first line hit the hardest. Great job again.
-
Ok, so I read this. I realized the flow was simply superb, the wording was just great and there was no flaws in this poem whatsoever. I read it again, realized how beautiful it was. Then, upon my third time reading it, I realized it was an acrostic. I know I was slow on discovering this but it simply goes to show that you can make a poem that sounds good while sticking to a certain type. Great work! You got an applause from me

what simplicity. it's perfect.
-
WELL DONE WE ALL FEEL LESS THAN PERFECT. THIS POEM WAS SHORT SWEET AND DIRECTLY TO THE POINT!!!BRAVO THERE WERE ALOT OF WORDS NEED TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS BUT YOU DID WELL DONE!!!!!IF I HAD ANY APPLAUSE LEFT I D GIVED THEM TO YOU
-
truth...I guess we all fall short sometime...truth!i really love this it has so much truth seriously, this is amazing...you said so much with so little words and i raise my hat to you for that...great stuff...i don't even know if i should call it great or enormous...it was simply beyond good...
-
truth is truth
in life it is hard to find someone brave enough to always say just what they mean and what is truth no matter what the consequence...unfortunately we make it difficult for someone to tell the truth all the time if they do we call them sickningly outspoken and an A-hole that doesn't know whaat he is talking about
great write
-
very nice acrosstic i havent seen one of these in awhile it was refreshing to see... good luck in your contest and good luck in your future writes
-
That an innocent compliment
Has often no veracity and the truth is he lied
...thirty words in thirty seconds have revealed a universal trtuh ....welldone...
-
Short and sweet ......sort of a beautiful liar.....
-
I can easily hear the message, in five short lines. Great job. Don't compliment unless you mean it..good.
-
WELL DONE
A really catchy little gem you have penned here. I had a little trouble reading the font, but that by no means takes anything away from the write. Excellent for the contest. I really enjoyed reading and commenting on your piece! KEEP ON PENNING
