John Lawless Poet Senryu

Edges of Truth

a darkness simmers
shading the edges of truth
                                      …..abiding in lies

L Milton Hankins March 7, 2022 at 9:25 AM Wow, so much wrapped up in these three lines, John. And I think they are right on target, too. John Lawless March 7, 2022 at 4:03 PM Yeah, Milton, I have always believed that there is a little truth in every lie.....at least enough to make us believe it...
