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.

True Friends

Among such friends with feathers fair

Words mean little and ring untrue

But in close company one must ere

A knife bleeds not what a cutting word can do


For when such a friend turns fowl

Cherished memories blind

the wolves come out to howl

And teeth sink in from behind


Words of caution must be given as charity

For the truest friends will give honest reply

With intent of growth and prosperity

And where none will do will lie


A truth that’s told with bad intent

Beats all the lies you can invent.
