Liar MAG
in your mouth
you fold your paper-thin words up
like origami and grin when they take flight
as paper cranes
hope swelling in the beating of their fragile wings
filling the spaces between us
and bursting in front of my eyes
leaving
drops of happiness trickling down
forming puddles by my feet.

Very good symbols. to this piece. I like the organization of the words. But the beggining to this one could be more strongly stated and comas are needed to make this piece a masterpiece
But one more thing really bothers me...Why is the name of this piece Liar. I feel like the emotion being expressed is more of a lonly feeling to it. I could not point out any symbols that connected Liar to the paper crane. I feel like this is describing something else other then being a "liar"
