I suspect that this one line:

"and lull a raging mountain

to sleep."

...is too close to the truth for a liar! I liked the metamorphic treatment of the adjectives, forcing them into stone nouns.

And I will read it, too!

Very powerful writing; an inexorable tectonic force behind these words.

Once in a while...

...a poet writes something wonderfully personal but relating to every man. For me this is such a poem. Perfection in the choice of words and images. If I could I'd give it 10 AND an "E".

(a five but no therm. from me)

Ye gods, man

Do you never write any AVERAGE poetry? It's just not natural!

Sounds like all of creation speaking

Through the mind of the poet

Formerly known as Liar

Though his words aren't any weaker

Coming from MinorMonster.

Very powerful indeed.
