Angels and Lyres

Likely story,
"Lyres" lie,
Looking angelic,
Laughable really.
Lively defense,
Lovely lawyer.

Loads of evidence,
Loose lips,
Lots of blood,
Lost cause.
Let the "lyre" go?
Lovely angels say, "No"!

Nice use of the letter L... There are some crazy contests sometimes.. I used to write for them, but stopped a long time ago..

I enjoyed your use of the word "lyre". It evokes more than one meaning.

Hi Darlene...So sorry I didn't see your comment long before now. I hope you learned how to "share" a poem by now but just in case you haven't: Just click on the "email icon" right above the title of a poem. Then you can email (share) it with whoever you like. Also, you can copy and paste it to Facebook or wherever you wish to share it. Hope this helps. Carole Duet

Hello Carole. I read your words twice. Oh the litigation of it all. Always the rights are on the side of the defendant. How sad is that. Very. With hope the angels know that and look on. Good luck with the contest. Well done

Nicely done, poetic litigation that defines a lot of what we see going on in the world today not to mention the court room. "Liars lie", that they do and some are very good at it, disgusting as it may be.

You wouldn't be talking politics here would you, Ngetal? Not you? Haha. I would post this under verse, but that's just me! I'm no expert on forms. Good to see you writing again!

Oh, and thanks for the suggestion that I post it under "verse". I couldn't find anything to use except "free verse" but I think I might have worn that one out.

Who me? Never! lol However, although it could fit today's political scene, it's actually about a court case. haha Gotcha Dingo!
