THIS WEEK, Poetry Potluck #27, presents us with the intriguing premise of LIES, DECEPTION, and MISREPRESENTATION. Once again, they all seem to run together for me. I also just discovered the poetic form, Tanka. Seemed like a good opportunity to see where this will go. A Tanka consists of five lines. I wrote two Tankas, then realised that they could be combined to form one poem. I guess that's OK!
YOUR LYING EYES
Your blue eyes, they smile
and wink with a romantic
promise to embrace
only me, then you turn
to see the girl entering...
Floating an untruth
on waters brackish with mud,
who will be deceived,
to think the torrent will clear
and the lie become honesty?
