One-Liner Wednesday – Tangled

A tangled tongue is better tuned with truth that’s kind and useful.

One-Liner Wednesday – Exit

While cruising down the road to hell I saw an exit, took it, and, though slow and narrow, winding, too, I knew that this back road would do.

One-Liner Wednesday: Realization

That’s when I realized if I don’t try it one more time I’d never know if the tenth time wasn’t the charm.

One-Liner Wednesday: A Dozen Donuts

After the eleventh, I wondered why I ate the first, and then ate the last.

One-Liner Wednesday: A Proverb for Fish

Beware the hook of lies beneath the worm of truth.

One-Liner Wednesday – Rain

Rainy, rainy drips and drops
flushed from cloudy water spouts
down and down until it stops.

Tracks

  Covering a lie is
like covering one's tracks
  in the snow.

Linked to dVerse Meeting the Bar. Amaya is hosting with a four part challenge: (1) The poem must tell a story in one sentence. (2) The poem must explore the theme of ‘the end of civilization as we know it.’ (3) The story must tell of an odd or embarrassing incident, either heard about, witnessed, or autobiographical. (4) It must be improvised.

It is one sentence. I lifted it without revision from my notebook so it is an improvisation. I suppose ‘snow’ could be analogous to ‘civilization’. The futility of covering one’s tracks in the snow might suggest a story where a protagonist is motivated to hope the snow melts (civilization ends) at least until the protagonist realizes that lies without the cover of civilization could be easier to spot.
