> Hello Sally,
              Many thanks for your feedback on this one. As you remark, words can have different meanings and never is this more so than in the case when one person is deliberately trying to deceive and mislead another. I imagine how the realisation of this deceit might come as something of a revelation almost akin to a sense of clairvoyance. It would also be nice if I could persuade myself that this poem communicates that....I´m working on it (the persuasion, I mean....the poem´s finished);-)


Best wishes,     Mike
