Like Venom

You're a lie
as sick
and twisted
as your crooked smile:
Deception's snakes
make lips
to a mouth
whose voice
makes lies,
potent and
lethal
Like venom


something tells me that there needs to be a punctuation change in there somewhere... any suggestions???

I think the semi-colon at the end seems out of place.

Hey, that was awesome. Probably my favorite of yours yet. You keep getting better, smalls. Keep it up.

I edited it, and got rid of that pesky semicolon!

Thank you very much, Achilles. It's comments like those, along with honest critiqueing that keep me in this writing game.

Thanks Vodka! Well, if I'm "going off", you know what that means, right? It means that I'm a rocket, and you are one of the scientists up at NASA who built it!... only I'm sure your expert advice is must more ingenius than those people, who seem to have quite a bit of problems with their... ok, now the metaphor is just getting too political.

Thanks for the read !

It reads well, and looks good. I think you should base a song of it though. It kinda sounds like one.
