Poem -
Waterfall Lies
I can hear it.
Lies are like waterfalls.
They start as a stream.
Kept under control.
But before you know it,
You start to fall.
The bigger the lie,
The stronger the impact,
The taller the drop.
The trust taken back.
So, why must we create a lie?
When we know the end product
Why must we try to impress?
When we just create a mess.
Which has no greater effect.
Then on ourselves.
And nothing less,
Than destroy our soul.
Can you hear it?
The Fish of the Sea.

Yup! Lies are just like that. They start out small and get bigger and bigger as you figure out the lie being told to you. You never know where you are with a liar. I have learned that from experience x
Aw thanks so much Tina, I'm glad you liked the poem, something smells fishy though.... seems like your the only one still commenting on my work.... not that it bothers me lol. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and your continued support. Even when I sometimes dont have the time to give it back. All the best and kind regards. The Fish of the Sea
Oh what tangled webs we weave...
I'm a terrible liar, I blush and stutter and I've a terrible memory. To be a good liar you have to have a good memory!
Great use of metaphor in this enjoyable write
Thanks Pen! Like most of my poems they are based on songs! Shame I cant remember this one lol. But yes, I count that as a good thing Pen! Good liers are sometimes not the best of people to come across, especially when on the receiving end... thanks for your kind comment. It's really appreciated. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea
Waterfall lies
Liking this a lot fots, I visit a, waterfall near home called high force, now everytime I go ill have this in my head x
Awww thanks so much Keith, I'm truly touched that my work has made you feel this way! I'm jealous though! (Post a photo in your future poem?) All we have is a dry creek. Not much water and going into summer now lol. But thank you so very much. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea
It's not a huge waterfall but scenery is beautifull
I could imagine...;)
I've posted it just for you lol
It is the reason why I never want to FaceTime with clients while at work... Way too easy to be found out if you use the little white lie that you're 'out of office'. Only thing is that if you don't take notes of what they want😭. Great write
Yeahh, we always have our reasons why we lie, sometimes white lies are fine, we just should realise that most, lead to waterfalls, and we need to deal with the consequences of our words. I'm glad you liked the write though. Thanks so much for your kind comment. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea
And deal with the consequences have turned me off the big lies and most of the little white lies which can easily become the big waterfall...
I love your way of poetry
Maybe that's for the better, thanks for the kind comment though. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea
Very creative and true. Have to make up lies to cover lies, never ending fall of lies, waterfalls.
