Very well said. The image is oddly perfect for the piece. ;))) A lot of truth folded into very few words. Well done and good luck with the contest. ;)))

Thank you for your wonderful comments, Karol - it seems that to lie is a bit too easy for the human spirit sometimes and even the little ones can have such a big impact on one or more lives...even collaterally. Didn't have a specific incident feed this write, have just seen so much of it among the high schoolers I teach as well as among their parents....it can get pretty toxic sometimes. :) :) You be sure to take good care and have a wonderful weekend of sunshine and rainbows! :) ;) Yvette :)

I don't write poetry unless it's for kids and rhymes so I tend not to read it either.

I read yours (the title intrigued me) and found it so filled with truth.

"leaving life with naught but the pieces"...

I liked that line! Well done my friend and best luck in the contest (no lie)!! John

Spoken lies, one word can bring in disaster in life, words ill-spoken break life into pieces; well said, well done. Write More Inspire More -- DR ALCREATOR

Your verse tells a dark truth.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

Yes, your so right Yvette, lies are the scourge of mankind, and I cannot leave myself out of the firing line concerning, when under pressure, the urge to lie is over powering, a great entry in this fou line contest dear girl, good luck, blessings, Roy
