POEM STARTER
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
Use this quote from the poet William Blake in a poem with a defined structure. As this is a rhyming couplet, your stanza format should follow however you use the quote.
A Honeyed  Tongue
A barb of truth that’s dipped in spite,
Can wound the soul with cruel delight.
It pierces deep, a poisoned dart,
And leaves a scar upon the heart.
A clever lie, with honeyed tongue,
May comfort for a time, though wrong.
But better peace, though built on sand,
Than truth that's wielded by evil’s hand.
A man full of hate or cold distain
Can twist the truth to bring you pain.
And a truth that’s told with bad intent,
Beats all the lies you can invent.
