What Was That I Heard?

Today’s challenge is to write a poem inspired by something you’ve overheard.








It was her perception
But I can tell you it was a lie
This is what I think you thought you heard
She perceived one thing and you the other
And in the middle lies the truth
Lies the truth, you say?
Indeed, her truth lies.
Perhaps you didn’t hear what you thought I said.
But I did hear quite well…
You said what you perceived she thought
Or was it what she thought you perceived you said?
