truths.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here

truths. belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop and WMG

there are truths
and there are lies,
you yours,
i mine.

are my lies your truths?
are my truths your lies?
might be,

‘tis hard to tell,
who’s truthing,
and who’s lying.
