Excuses Are Born

With his back against a wall of steel caught in a silken, sticky web the cloak of guilt fits him well mind racing, eyes darting excuses are born! He finds a voice and stammers-- "It wasn’t me"! ~*~

We all seem in the greatest denial at the very end, when there's no where else to run. I'd like to know the extent of his guiltiness! Very apt title... I enjoy your work Annalise.

Annalise a very good Nonetheless Poem. I loved that he was caught in a silken sticky web like a spider's prey, also the cloak of guilt. Very descriptive. You convey your message very well. Warm Smiles, Connie.
