My heart, my heart
don’t lie to me
as you’ve done
in the past
Or maybe you didn’t
lie to me –
you heard a song
and misunderstood
the words
– James Steerforth
For Totally Optional Prompts. The prompt ‘reflections on the primary’ did not sound a string, but I happened to write this.
Interpretation can draw a fine line between truth and lies
I too did not write for the prompt as it did nothng in my mind. No clicking, nothing.
In fact, my poem nicely complements yours.
is it what is called love poetry?
Dear James,
I really like this poem.
With the prompt from re: the primaries mixed in, I imagined Hillary doing a reading of this one. I gave it a nice flavor.
LOL
