I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really understand what you are trying to say here and yet their is something fascinating in your words. Maybe it's that we as readers are left to figure out the meaning, and it's becomes a puzzle we need to solve. Completely interesting though....I liked it. :)

Thank you for this true review.
Comment from Spiritual Echo
I like what you're doing, the premise of your collection. In my experience, the biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. For example, the idea we lie to spare another truth may actually be a way for us to avoid an unpleasant confrontation. Or, in deeper things than 'do I look fat in this dress?' perhaps we don't believe another person has the capacity to understand the 'truth' from our perspective. Why bother? They won't hear me anyway.
Great idea.

Interesting and fun take on lying. It gives the reader depths of intrigue and thought process. Read many times and each time came to a new conclusion or an inconclusive joy. Enjoyed reading and deciphering.

I do believe the hide is 'TRUES'. If true is an adjective then I guess this is plural form which I'm not sure exists. But, then I thought of the adjective 'red' which has plural form 'reds' so there we go. Who knows everything, certainly not me and that is no like. I attempt to speak (and review) in truth despite many getting a bit up tight and speaking the truth that rises in their minds. The picture fits well. "What a joy hide" hmmmmm that one got me as initially I read it as "joy ride". I look forward to reading more.

Again you have caught me without a six left.
Your poems are always short and to the point, no words wasted unnecessarily, no emotions left out. You grab th reader and give the reader something to think about. This latter part is what I like best about your poems.
Very well done.

A cryptic write. Reads down as "TRUES"--but what is the reader to discern from that? Ride-pride-hide rhyme...but truths/truths merely repeat. "Whata joy hide!" (?)---It is all a bit jumbled for me....

Great awareness of truth and lies. Some in
politcs need to be truthful . They represent
the people not themselves. Alcreator, I think
you are looking for the word - pride. I'll
fly back again. flylikeaneagle

Well, you do have some rhymes in there, but the poem
doesn't make much sense to me and contradicts itself.
The last line, "What a joy hide" has no meaning.
Your dedication would have been a better start to a poem

The worst thing about lying, aside from the actual wrongness of it...is getting caught in that tangled web!! A very interesting write.
