Your few words, as required by the rules, made a
true statement, Mystery Author. Great job. Unfortunately,
many fall short and never see the problems created.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

    Thank you for the review and you are so right. It creates so many problems, but no one wants to accept blame.

A tainted spirit and a scarred soul are forever with us if they are earned through compromising the truth in any matter. There must e a lot of that in Washington DC right about now.

Truth be told.

This under-ten-word poem, Compromise, uses eight of the required word count and speaks to what is lost when values dip as a sign of progress.

Therefore, Congress is full Of demons. Those sitting senators and representatives wouldn't tell
The whole truth and nothing but the truth even under the threat of imprisonment

Hi there,

Compromising the truth, otherwise known as lying! lol

It's a good little piece. true in itself.

The only thing I would say is the choice of colours is a little difficult on the eyes.

All the best

Facing up to the truth can be a challenge as we avoid it when we don't like to hear it. Your well chosen words ruffle feathers here and shake us up, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Interesting alliteration - truth taints- spirits - scars the soul, these are powerful images that enlighten the soul. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and with your writings.
