The Query


The truth came out
when the bout stopped
and doubt creep-ed in.

I like the contrast of 'truth/doubt' in this, gives it a layer of mystery~

The last line spells the essence of your poem for me, Angela.

I take it that the 'bout' is referring to a heated argument. Words said, intentionally or not, can easily lead to not only doubt, but also a realization of the truth. A lot is said and insinuated in these three lines. Angela. ~ Best regards // paul
