Truth

I haven't submitted any poetry lately, but I figured I would submit this. I wrote it as something for an oral presentation. Tell me what you think about it.

Platters of platinum
carry spoon-fed lies.
The truth
like dust swept beneath a rug.

To see beyond
those enticing falsehoods,
open your eyes
and gaze upon reality.

Seek,
and you will find.
Knock,
and the door of clarity
will be opened to you.

For the truth is so much greater
than anything you can imagine.

And lies only blind us
to the beauty of God's creation.

Here here! I agree on how you define what TRUTH is. YAh, lies just blind us to see the greatness of what GOD has created for us, Continue to write...

This poem was BEAUTIFUL!! Absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed reading it and I absolutely agree, it just blinds us to what God has created for us.

Very nicely put! Amazing metaphor, you have incredible talent.

Best way to end it.

Congtratulations, i wish you all the best!

Heya pinkangel!

Here to review as requested!

This poem made me feel like too many people are hiding things, and that they should just come out. I could also feel some emotions coming out quite clearly through reading this piece. I agree with the others in saying that you had a lovely metaphor at the beginning!

I couldn't really find the poem flowing naturally when reading it. There wasn't a definite structure to the poem, so you could improve on that. Although you used metaphor's I couldn't see any other poetry techniques such as alliteration and onomatopoeia. I also thought that you could vary your punctuation a little. These are just suggestions, you don't have to take them.

Well done, and keep writing!

nice wording

Seek,

a little proverb-likel

love this line

I like this very much, but I think it's a little short. You could expand it, a little, and make it really great.
I like all the metaphores, and your language is solid, good, and vivid.

I'd like more, though. What lies, and how do they entice? What makes the truth great? Describe the beauty of creation.

I think this would be a truly great poem if you went all the way with it, and described a little more.

The style right now reminds me of a proverb. It's great, but it could be really vivid.

Keep writing!

Wow. I. Love. This. Poem!

OK! So, the first line caught me, as many poems do and should, and I couldn't stop reading it! Loved it! I read it twice, which, not many poems are good enough that I would. Did I mention I loved it!?
You know if you need me to review anything else, shoot me a PM!
