Congratulations to Michelle Legare!
Our September, 1999 winner for the best FANTASY poem.
Where Does This Truth Lie
Should I tell a deadly lie
Or blind truth in the nutshell?
Can you accept that I can fly
Below the clouds
Yet soar so high within the canyon
Of my mind and find the wind
A gentle friend to fill
My jacket or umbrella?
Trees appear as a million grains of sand.
Michelangelo visited this place
I saw him paint the sky in passing
As he shared in my flight.
He painted the canyon ochre,
I watched as a drop of paint dripped
From his palette, falling onto the land
Bleeding into the desert.
Truly a lie would be pathetic
But more acceptable than the truth.
