Cruel and Usual Punishment

A tired Liar rests uneasily Upon Pillows of the Past His heavy head, it sleeps in Dread- Always dreams of Truth, alas! *"Usual" is intentional in the title ;)

Hello, John. I'm not quite sure what you mean. I hope every poet who reads my work are also used to the "depths"; I hope I take them on an emotional journey, through all the peaks and valleys. But thank you for dropping by and for reading and responding :)

I appreciate the read and response, Barbara. I like to say as much as I can with as few lines as possible. Give me quality over quantity any day lol. Thanks again! :)
