You never know
what lies below
the surface.
Even eyes
tell lies
with practice
but practice
Does not always
make perfect.

Yes, dear Ida, it is true that one must look deeper, through the eyes into the soul, to really know.

Very good one.

Love,

wow!  You hit it that time---so short, so economical, so well-written.  And oh, so very true.

Sometimes truths actually sound like lies. Sometimes. A wonderful and wise poem.

So very true and you chose a perfect format to make your point.  Short in reading, long in truth and pondering.  Beautifully written.  
or maybe just whistle.  Don't want to scare the masses.
