Dear DW'
It is a good poem. It reminded me of the sins committed by us and out attitude to them. these 'lies' are sometimes not grave. They are white, simple and small. But for a small child this is a training to say big lies in future.
Well written.
Regards

Comment from missy98writer
deepwater,
Cleverly written poem reflecting live. Excellent use of metaphor with soap. Vivid imagery and very descriptive writing. Great rhyme and narrative. I especially enjoyed the lines:
How would you answer, no with yes? And regret the lie to please?
White lies, Big lies, Small lies, Untrue, where will this all lead?
Soap was the punishment for children, to wash away their lies,
What is it for adults, to wash away tears and pain we hide?
This poem very thought provoking. I liked the way you posed questions. I'm unfortunately out of sixes so a 'virtual six' will have to suffice. You're a very talented writer. I love your poetry. Keep up the stellar writing.
Melissa.

This is something to ponder...do we just say it's all right or do we say ... ok, but I don't feel good about this, let's talk it over. You've written this well to make us think what might be the best approach. I believe we are all God's children, but some break away...try as we might, unfortunately we can't save everyone.

I really quite like this one, though I am not a mega fan of this style of presentation. I especially like the line,
"And regret the lie to please?"
Which says quite a lot to me.

Comment from Leigh Ann
I enjoyed reading this poem. The flow, meter, rhythm were complientary to the subject matter. The content is thought provoking. Each day many of us put up a good front, not allowing others to see the true conditions were in mentally, and even physically sometimes. I the truth will set you free, there are a lot of enslaved humans in this world. Thanks for this poem rich in content. Leigh Ann

Comment from Melba
This is a really good poem. I just saw one error on line 4 (where not were). Your words are so true and mean a lot. Our lives do revolve around words not spoken, white lies, big lies, small lies. We are all told we are all God's children and we are if God said it so, but he gave us the choice to be also if we chose and do as he teaches.
