A lie can compare to jelly and bread
You have the knife that makes it spread
The more you lie
The more thats spread
The heavier spread
The more lies said
I hope you understand the moral that I read

This poem was short and sweet. (:
It had a good message but told it in a cute way!
Its making me hungry.
That was the only grammar thing I found. Cute analogy. And it rhymes! I love poems that rhyme!
Keep writing!
Hi there. Lavvi in to review.
Snoink there has some very good points. How is a lie specifically like jelly on bread? And this is no moral, it's something you're telling us. It's a cute poem though. You've got a nice idea, and there isn't much to review about it.
However, it is an interesting comparison. I would never have thought of it like this. It's kind of cool.
Sweet poem.
Lavvi
Hi, Sakin here. I like this! It's childish in a way, yet mature. It's very unique. Keep writing stuff like this, it could get you somewhere, because this is cute. One thing. I do believe you mean 'wrote' at the end instead of 'read'. That was the only problem I found. If you need me to look at anything else, please send me a link, I'd be more than happy to read it! Good luck with your writing.

JUST DONT SPREAD THE JELLY! Is that what you mean? Like, dont spread evil.
You mean that you wrote, not read!
I don't actually get what you have to say. Lies can spread and jelly can spread, but eagles can spread their wings and you can spread a sheet on a mattress and a virus can spread and decimate the human population (I'm thinking Spanish influenza, but I am kind of a nerd). So, the point is a lot of things can spread. Why is a lie specifically like jelly?
Also, the moral... you're not actually telling us a moral! You're telling us that something can happen, but that's not a moral. A warning, maybe. A moral would be something like, "Lying is bad." You don't actually say that anything is bad. So! If you want to include a moral, then you have to include some sort of judgment!
Also... now I want to eat a peanut butter jelly sandwich. It's all your fault!
