Deceit wears a veil of exotic translucence

Woven with infinite care

And the silken-smooth threads spun from lies

Excellent, Leann! Within these three lines lies an awful truth...skillfully written. Your words convey that silken allure with which the deceiver works.

Short and to the point, but spun with perfect truth.
I, also, have a poem about deceit... entitled Honey...mine is longer, but it talks about those sticky silky threads just the same. :~)
