Deceit

by Lysana

A series of haiku, exploring the range of truth and falsehood, dark and light, in the words and actions of various LOTR, Silmarillion, and/or The Hobbit characters. Is the dark always completely dark, the light always fully light? Or are there varying shades of honesty and deception, good and evil, in all of us? And might we sometimes be surprised by whose words are most truthful?

1. Question

If the shadows lie
then can we expect the light
to speak truthfully?
