Sometimes we jump to the wrong conclusions as our trust is tested and we believe someone has cheated when perhaps they have not, a poignant poem, many will identify with these words, love Dolly x

Good relationships are founded on mutual trust and unconditional love.
Your poem is well written and the theme is relatable. Well done.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image and good presentation, nomi.
-Your note is appreciated and I agree.
-A well written poem with a good topic.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-You make very good points about
making assumptions as he explains
different aspects of what she said and did,
beginning in line one and she assumed
he was cheating.
-She also listens to what her friends are
saying and believes them over him.
-He doesn't deserve the rejection and
I don't think he could trust her anymore, either.
-Very well done.

You are very welcome. You did a good job with it!
Comment from Kaiku
A nice rebuttal to jealousy. I thought the line with alligator was one that didn't have the same fluidity as the rest of them. I realize that 'alligator' and 'later' finalized the rhyme sequence but maybe it was the word 'huge' I found out of place.

Thank you for your comments. I was making a reference to an elephant in the room or at least I was trying to.

Of course. I enjoyed your work
Comment from Madeleine Mardis
This poem is clear, it's great how the author expressed exactly what needed to be said! And the alligator part was sublime! Haha, this person is aware that they'd better "come correct" if they want to be forgiven for assuming wrongly! Maddy

Thank you Maddy. Sadly not everyone got the analogy to there being an elephant in the room.
Comment from mermaids
This is such a perfect use of words that shows how we jump to conclusions too quickly. I like how you show how destructive social media can be. You tell a moni movie here that is true to life.

Thank you. Believe it or not, I have never had the experience personally, but have observed it many times as it has occurred in the lives of others.
Comment from Heather Knight
Not being able to rhyme myself, I admire you more for it. I also like the fact that you tell a story in your poem and, besides, the story is thought provoking and up-to-date.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for your kind remarks. Also remember, not all poetry rhymes. Some of the most beautiful poetry I have ever had the pleasure did not rhyme but was beautifully enjoyable and inspiring as well.
-
I know. I only write free verse and prose myself, but I still people who can rhyme. Besides (and please don't be offended, because I mean it as a compliment) I think African American writers have a special voice that I envy. I feel my experiences are dull in comparison. I don't know if I've explained well. Take care.

You do not need to apologize for being honest. If someone objects to what you say, while it is their right to object, their right does not supersede your right. We all have to respect each other in all things.

You?re so very right.
Have a lovely day.
Comment from Begin Again
Bravo! In all sorts of life's relationship, too many people jump to conclusions and make decisions on the wrong things. Your poem points that out and suggests... Think before you leap!

Thank you. Your wisdom is very evident in your wise choice of words.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Do you have to use punctuation in this? I ask because some lines, like "But suddenly, the first thing you see." stop the flow with the period at the end, and it's not the end of the thought anyway. I see some poems that have no punctuation and they seem to flow better, but I'm just asking and not a poet.
This is nicely rhymed and I chuckled at the swimming with an alligator part. Tough task master, but it will certainly teach her a lesson, lol!
Enjoyed reading this:-)

Thank you for your comments. I struggle with punctuation in poems because some reviewers criticize over use or lack thereof. I use Microsoft Word as my editor and they have some strange rules, so I try to listen to the poem being read back to me and even then it is not always satisfactory. So, the struggle continues.

Keep going, my friend.
Comment from royowen
Oh yes, there's only one thing worse than absolute betrayal, and that's the accusation of betrayal when goaded by friends hell bent on character assassination, so I think the decision is clear, one should tolerate it, done once, it can certainly be done twice, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you brother Roy. It hurts to be falsely accused. especially if you are not given the chance to defend yourself.

I agree, but if we are innocent, God is our defender.
