River Of Lies

Tears, they flow as giddy gushing streams,
and meddle with our facile sense of joy,
seamlessly they interface cod emotions,
whirlpool laughter smothers trite elation,
smirking bogus rivulet, weeping willow branch,
to that toxic ocean known as hollow mirth

Thank you so much Andrea. In answer to your question it hasn’t been selected at any level. One NA so far. I’m currently looking for a suitable contest where it may be more favourably received Howard
