Lies And Deception (Limerick and Haiku Prompt 5)

Today’s limerick and haiku theme is lies and deception. First, my limerick: 

“Your excuse simply can’t be believed.
You’re a liar! I feel quite deceived,”
Said the gal, as she wept,
To her lover, who’d slept
With her mother. (I guess she was peeved.)

And now, my haiku:

People who maintain
That they are always honest
Are surely lying.

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) about lies and deception. When you’ve posted your verse, please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky.

(If you need some tips on limerick or haiku writing, I link to some helpful sites here.)

    I couldn’t seem to write fun limericks, oh well. Have a good week.

  2. Bone says:

    Haha. Love your limerick!

    OK, so this could be breaking the rules. Please don’t ban me :)

    Why does he lie, still
    When everyone knows the truth
    Kind of sad, really

    Mitr, if you read this, please come back and fix your Mr. Linky link. It isn’t live and I don’t know your URL, so I can’t fix it myself.

    LittleWing, it’s too late for Mr. Linky, because I have a new prompt up. But you can still post a link in the comments. Thanks for participating.
