Liar
A poem about mistrust and resentment.
Lengthy, lazy loopholes.
Lies lay lovers low.
Lies level landscapes, laced lullabies.
Lies, little-looking, last.
Look long, listen, learn,
letting lies linger like leeches
lets love lose.

Sensational Challenge Winners
At Vocal, we're always going on and on about the freedoms of limitation and how walls and decisions and editing make great art. But sometimes you just need to let your creative hair down, throw some paint at the wall. This was one of our more open prompts, free for interpretation, few limits, just give us a poem, a sense of the senses.
