Secrets

Secrets are grey
They taste like lemons
They smell like rotten eggs
They look like monsters
They make you feel like a liar

ha ha Ashley let me tell you now, that I love lemons I just ate one for breakfast, I just cut it in half, and spoon the pulp out like one does grapefruit and eat the whole thing. Now about your poem, it is very effective in telling the world a truth that is ignored, you know Bradley Manning I think that is his name, he sent WikiLeaks a ton of secrets that embarassed a lot of important people. He is in trouble now. But you are right, secrets smell like rotton eggs. Good work in just a few words.
