and NaPoWriMo day eight.
Todays words at 3WW are:
Flirt Ploy Stunning
Here's mine:
I TELL PORK-PIES
truth by definition is absolute
relative truth is what you tell your mum
sometimes your dad when he lends you his car
stunning as the truth may be it can’t lie
perhaps it’s just my imagination
sometimes I tell pork-pies to flirt with you
quizzical as a hanging judge you think
and decide before I ask you what for
how did Modigliani paint like that
what did Australia used to be called
if you could sail to Tahiti would you
the stuff of life is a little bit like
your own ploy of skirting round the issue
but the truth is still waiting to be told

I think you've pretty much summed up 'truth' there :-)
Very true. :)
What a way to go about the truth!
The shadows form a shade around me
Daring and nice attempt !!
Those three words used smartly in context of TRUTH.
I love the metaphorical spokes you have tied together in this. Very clever!
This is simply wonderful. I like how it just rolls in your head as you read it. Wonderful poem.
I love the metaphors. I love the choice of words, smooth as we read it. And the actual topic is sweet. I like this a lot.
Tidy universe! Clever and lyrical.
so very perfect !! interesting read :)
*applause*
Ah, a poem about hedging the issue that itself hedges the issue! Very nicely done.
True lies?Loved the wry humor in it and the way you play along with the subject turning it inside out and upside down.It also,I must say,goads the reader to think.
'quizzical as a hanging judge' Don't know why but those words really grabbed my attention. I enjoyed this poem (unusual for me as I am not a lover of poetry generally).
I like the flow of the poem.
Fascinating. Now I have to go look up Modigliani. Thanks for the entrance to the rabbit hole.
"truth by definition is absolute
relative truth is what you tell your mum"
