Time again for ‘Friday Fictioneers’. My weekly addiction to the 100 word photo prompt. My prose seems to have failed me again this week, for that I apologise. Never the less, my weekly addiction needed feeding, so again I’m rhyming. There is always next week……..
The truth is not always,
About what we see,
Sometimes it’s more,
About what we can be,
It’s not about hiding,
Or escaping the pain,
It’s not about knowing,
How to hide from the rain,
It’s not about swimming,
Or braving the current,
Nor treading the water,
In an indigo torrent,
It’s not about diving,
Beneath a still pool,
Nor rising unblemished,
From waters that cool,
*
The truth is not always,
What we want it to be,
For sometimes the truth,
Is the view we can’t see.

True dat!
Perfect. So incredibly perfect;)
Thank you 🙂
Simple and yet so brilliant!
I’m a simple sort of girl 😉
Remarkable!! I love the little stories we get from FF, but your poems leave me awed.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment 🙂
Nicely done. Flowed nicely.
Thanks for reading Sandra 🙂
The truth about truth! Well said 🙂
I bow to you *** completely and awesomely ( is that a word? ) beautiful and laced with a whole lot of truth** 🙂
Ahh, thank you 🙂
Dear Helen,
I appreciate your weekly addiction. Something I relate to all too well. 😉 I enjoyed your poetic take on truth.

Lovely, Helen!
I’m a sucker for poetry. I got sucked in. Bravissimo, Helen!
No need to apologize, this poetry was beautiful and insightful. I just love the message of the truth being about what we can be! A very valuable lesson. Thanks for sharing this!
And you’re apologizing for this because? No need at all, Helen. Beautifully told truth.

Nice job, Helen! Clearly, you do indeed write poetry! *I think on the 3rd line, you want “Sometimes IT’s more” Small, but it trips me. Really lovely!
I need to get a hang of this editing lark, lol. Thanks for the pick up 😉
I love it when you rhyme!
What a lovely interpretation of the photo prompt. Indeed, there is a lot of truth in your poem!
That was a lovely poem about truth! Cool interpretation of the prompt.
Helen, Almost everything’s been said. I liked this lovely poem very much. Well done. 🙂
