Decent Lie Poem by Daffodil Decarie

Decent Lie

Rating: 2.7


A decent lie is like–
a voluptous coconut.

The fruit, husk thick,
wrap the skull,
a pair of eyes, a muted lips.
The meat is white,
fatty, womb–The milk.
Before water,
cure the kidney.

You have made a powerful poem out of a voluptuous lie - I'd never thought of a coconut in that way, great, original thinking! Rgds, Ivan
