Who’s Lying?
03/21/2011
You said
You care
You changed.
You lied
You cheated
You gave in to temptation.
You ate that pork
You missed running
You, my dear self.

Yay! I got a Memetastic Award from Creativity to the Max! The award requires me to list 5 things about myself — only one should be true (the readers can guess which one is the truth). Then I have to pass the award to 5 people — I am passing the award to anyone who wants to join the fun of guessing game! Let the game begin!
1. Pinocchio is my best friend.
2. I am a daughter of the King.
3. I own a glass slippers.
4. My hair is as long as Rapunzel’s.
5. I have a wicked stepmother.
For Creativity to the Max — a fun place run by an amazing tandem of dog and wowman!

So hard to be “good”…
03/28/2011 at 6:41 AM
We can always try to be good and believe in goodness. Have a great day! 🙂
03/28/2011 at 12:44 AM
wow! how could I miss it? Loved reading 🙂
03/28/2011 at 6:38 AM
Thank you for reading and appreciating! Blessings to you 🙂
03/24/2011 at 2:14 PM
I loved the twist at the end!! Great! 🙂
03/24/2011 at 11:31 PM
Thank you for appreciating! 🙂
03/24/2011 at 1:19 AM
The second and third to last lines made me so sure it was about your man…then BAM! So much fun 🙂
03/24/2011 at 8:08 AM
🙂 Let’s have fun today and not think so much about the lies that have been told 🙂
03/23/2011 at 10:24 PM
Good one! Lying to oneself, the scourge of humanity.
03/23/2011 at 10:49 PM
You scared me with that! Sometimes truth is scary and if that is the reason why we lie then we got to cultivate a brave heart?
Blessings to you 🙂
03/23/2011 at 4:20 AM
I do so love the way you write!
03/23/2011 at 9:30 AM
And the non-writer blush for another blessing today! 🙂
03/23/2011 at 3:08 AM
I be damned if i say I do not lie thus !!
03/23/2011 at 9:27 AM
You have just spoken the truth!
Blessings to you 🙂
03/22/2011 at 10:03 PM
Makes me think of that quote…”To thine own self be true.”
We sometimes overlook the one who deceives us so easily, ourselves. An excellent poem.
03/22/2011 at 10:30 PM
That is so true. Sometimes we’re so bitter when others hurt us when we do the same to ourselves.
Here’s to truth and kindness for everyone 🙂
03/22/2011 at 9:36 PM
super post, like this very much 😉
03/22/2011 at 10:26 PM
Thank you very much 🙂
03/22/2011 at 3:28 PM
You’ve just put a smile on my face… aren’t we all our first and utmost own deceivers…
03/22/2011 at 4:04 PM
Hmmm because we underestimate who are and what we are capable of doing? Because we feel we can never be a positive outlier?
Thanks for the smile! 🙂
03/22/2011 at 2:06 PM
great tail- er I mean tale! You made me laugh!
03/22/2011 at 2:39 PM
Glad that you laughed!
Be careful with d-evil hooked tale 🙂
03/22/2011 at 1:21 PM
I would have guessed long hair, but before I read ur post, I read ur who – bended spoon, so I know you have short hair… and you seem to be too nice to say that you have wicked stepmother… so I will go with King’s daughter 🙂
03/22/2011 at 2:29 PM
Thank you for making me smile on how you go about your process of elimination!
If I have Rapunzel’s hair you’ll see me in Guinness World Records with my hair rake. If I have a wicked stepmother I won’t dare post it here because for sure she’s watching my every move.
Thank you for considering King’s daughter instead of Pinocchio’s bestfriend. I love long-nose though — I use that pliers in making accessories.
Blessings to you! 🙂
03/22/2011 at 11:33 AM
Nice one, bended spoon. I like the simple statements, followed by the twist – self decepter. Even though it was accusatory, it didn’t condemn – it was kind of happy in a way, light and fun. Well Done.
03/22/2011 at 12:58 PM
Glad that you liked it! Everything in this place is simple. I am not sure if I’ll reach that point where my words will be profound.
Blessings to you! 🙂
03/22/2011 at 9:08 AM
wow, that was some self-searching gone mad and oh so harsh! I loved it 🙂
03/22/2011 at 12:52 PM
Thank you so much! Harsher if I let it be 🙂
03/22/2011 at 7:45 AM
All I could do was laugh!…love the ending.
03/22/2011 at 12:50 PM
Thank you and have a happy day! 🙂
03/22/2011 at 5:59 AM
To disappoint self is the worst of all!

Oh yes. Shoulda and Woulda sometimes pestered me 🙂
03/22/2011 at 5:32 AM
Liked the poem 🙂
03/22/2011 at 7:00 AM
Thanks a lot 🙂
03/22/2011 at 3:20 AM
Self examination and exclamation is a great gift.
03/22/2011 at 6:59 AM
Thank you so much for letting me see it that way!
🙂
03/22/2011 at 1:22 AM

03/22/2011 at 6:53 AM
Thank you for listening! 🙂
03/22/2011 at 1:07 AM
Ah, yes. Confronting the self-deceit within!
03/22/2011 at 6:52 AM
It’s about time 🙂
03/22/2011 at 12:56 AM
lovely bended.. here’s mine.. http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/paper-scribbles/

03/22/2011 at 6:50 AM
But you knew all along which is the truth! Lol!
I’m so blessed 🙂
03/22/2011 at 12:08 AM
Don’t tell me your step mom is wicked- lolsssss
Clever take on those 5 points..
Loved your raw and honest poem on lies.. 😀
Hugs xox
03/22/2011 at 6:40 AM
Fairy tales with wicked mothers made me appreciate my Mom more!
I really appreciate your support. Blessings to you! 🙂
03/25/2011 at 5:30 PM
Thank you Dear One- I could really use some blessings.. the more the merrier 😀
Hugs xx
03/21/2011 at 10:40 PM
“Daughter of the KIng” of course! You really are creative. Great post! 🙂

03/21/2011 at 11:54 PM
Thank you Theresa for the confirmation that I am of royal blood!
🙂
03/21/2011 at 10:11 PM
It’s kind of brave to select the worst kind of lies… Very nice!
03/21/2011 at 11:51 PM
It takes more courage to share my simple thoughts than to admit my own fault. Blessings to you 🙂
03/21/2011 at 10:05 PM
loved the poem! Not lying! 😉
03/21/2011 at 11:45 PM
Thank you! I’ll take your word for that 🙂
03/21/2011 at 1:45 PM
How true of us all, each one. Welcome to the human race.
03/21/2011 at 6:26 PM
We have seen
We have scene
We have sin
Time to repent 🙂
03/21/2011 at 1:10 PM
Ahh the first poem of self critique and tongue in cheek! I like that!
Okay, the second part. Every liar needs an opposite for a friend, You write like royalty, you tread through blogland as though you are wearing glass slippers; with care and gentle prose, You have let down your hair on many occasions blessing us who visit by lifting us to higher places and someone who is so generous and loving may be so loving because she sees in her life how not to act 🙂
Lovely post! Take care Alan.
03/21/2011 at 6:23 PM
Tongue in cheek -I knew it you know something! 🙂
On the 2nd part, God bless you for making me smile! The best part of being a princess is when the mirror can sincerely say my name — “Mirror, mirror on the wall…”
🙂
03/21/2011 at 11:58 AM
Great fun … 😉 becca
03/21/2011 at 6:03 PM
Glad that you had one! 🙂
03/21/2011 at 11:38 AM
What fun! From top to bottom a fabulous post. Thanks for the smiles. The poem is a goodie. So honest …
Congrats on the award. Something different, huh? and well deserved.
Hugs!
03/21/2011 at 6:02 PM
Thank you so much Jamie!
A smile is more than enough for me! 🙂
03/21/2011 at 11:33 AM
Rea, That was easy, because I know for a fact that you are a daughter of the King of kings! Your poem to yourself reminded me of a song by MercyMe called “So Long Self”:
03/21/2011 at 6:00 PM
You’re my Sister! Thank you for sharing the song Linda! Perfect lines for me.
“And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me”
If I don’t own it who will? 🙂
03/21/2011 at 11:16 AM
Loved your poem and I’m not lying.
Hmm.. no glass slippers. : )
03/21/2011 at 5:53 PM
Thank you for not lying 🙂
Yup no glass slippers for cindeRea!
🙂
03/21/2011 at 10:49 AM
Even though I knew what the ending was going to be I was still surprised. Well done!
03/21/2011 at 5:50 PM
You made me think about those things that I expected yet I was still surprised by it. If it hurt, it was denial. If it brought happiness, it was feeling of unworthiness.
Here’s to more beautiful surprises! 🙂
03/21/2011 at 10:38 AM
and why is it easiest to lie to ourselves anyway??
Good twist on this…
03/21/2011 at 5:44 PM
The act of lying to oneself might be easiest but forgetting about it is not. Got to welcome first the forgiveness that we sought.
God bless you 🙂
03/21/2011 at 10:21 AM
You don’t lie very well. 🙂 I’m going for the daughter of the King, Princess Rea. (as Ann will say!) You are so creative . . .to tie it all together . . .the poetry prompts vision message quotes praise. You have to be an engineer to run this blog! God bless you and all He has in store for you, His Sonshine!
03/21/2011 at 5:38 PM
ahaha! I think I finally accepted the truth!
Thank you so much with love Deb!
03/21/2011 at 9:36 AM
I think you own glass slippers 🙂 of course I might be wrong. Loved the poem contributed for Potluck! Happy writing!
03/21/2011 at 5:35 PM
ahaha! You almost got it right! It took my fancy but just like other things that seem too pretty for me I have to go back to the store at least five times. If I still want the item like the first moment I saw it then got to buy it. Usually they’re out of stock by the time I decide. Yes my size for the glass slippers is no longer available! Yes savings made!
