Cryptic lies

a silly write based on cryptic crosswords which I cannot do.

Cryptic lies

Hiding in the sentence,

words disguised;

double meanings

when forcibly removed,

rubbed out

only truth remains,

scathing.

Flattery dead in harsh light

while lies lie

in shadows waiting:

Bury the truth!

of answers uncovered.

Greetings fellow Aussie. Came across your work quite by chance. Thoroughly enjoying it so far. Working sown the list but I thought I'd stop by on this one and say hi :) I really like it, that's another reason.

I love Melbourne after last years holiday there for the first time after always just going through melb. Better than adelaide in dining and the trams are the best to get around! lol

[Elise Anton]

Not when you're stuck behind them in traffic :( We lived on the Mornington Peninsula for many years and only returned here a few months ago. I can't get over how much busier it's gotten. Dining sure, but I love Adelaide's architecture... We're tearing EVERYTHING down and building 'apartments' and 'townhouses', sigh...
