PLOTTERS' FALL

You think the dark conceals your hand?

That darkness is my friend's command.

He sees your plots, your hidden snare,

And leaves your evil standing bare.

Dear Rolph,
Thank you for such an insightful and encouraging message. I wanted to explore the idea of hidden intentions being brought to light. The thought that there is comfort in the truth being revealed is something I also find peace in.
Your words are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Naomi

Dear Naomi,
Your yesterday's poem carries such a powerful message. You brilliantly remind us that no matter how much someone thinks they can hide their intentions in darkness, the truth always finds a way to shine through. The way you personify darkness as a force that exposes hidden schemes is striking—it’s like you’re showing that no plot is truly safe from being revealed. There’s something almost comforting in knowing that, no matter the deceit, truth has a way of standing bare.
Kind regards,
Rolph
