Dodge Writes: Today's Prompt is Monotetra
The politicians smiling cries
are full of things which he denies,
a blank faced look when one tries
to prove his lies, to prove his lies.
The media will probe and press
when faced with someone in distress
and tease out words under duress
here more is less, here more is less.
How dare one pray a fight to win?
For surely this pride is a sin,
the golden truth will turn to tin
when deaths begin, when deaths begin.
Today's Prompt is Octelle - a couple of days late!
You wrap me in a blanket of
your warmth and your enduring love,
my shelter when icy blast
blows right through me from my past.
When I am down, feeling blue
I turn my heart back to you,
you wrap me in a blanket of
your warmth and your enduring love
