I enjoyed the sentiment of this piece. It softens the usually black and white attitude that we hold for lying. The structure of the piece is particularly interesting. The last line blended into the rest of the piece on my first reading but seemed more separate when I reread it. If the goal is to keep it separate, I would be interested to see how you would accomplish that.
@ElshaHawk Exactly. More lies are less effective. More lies draws you deeper into the web. Traps you in sticky words. I’m impressed that such an important sentiment was expressed in such a short stanza. And it rhymes! Now I think I understand why the last line isn’t separate. It would mess with the structure of the rhymes.
