And so we meet again...

I can totally relate to your words and the feeling of betrayal so clearly expressed in your poem.

Intriguing, descriptive, emotive. Your words make me want to rage and weep simultaneously.

This is a good entry to the 3-line poem contest. Your message is strong, well-stated with a great flow. However, your small text is dwarfed under the large visual with lettering. The text small is not prominent. I would enlarge the text by severe sizes and prepares make some or all of the words bold. You have a strong message. You could present unexpected font with this poem. Your thoughts are fresh! It was a good read and good luck in the contest.

Nice entry for the 3 Line Poetry Contest.

The syllables count is wrong. By the contest rules, it's supposed to be 5/7/5 syllables.

Good presentation.

Good luck in the contest.

I can't read the poem because the letters are too small and too similar in tone to the color behind them. It is a nice picture. I hope you have time to make corrections if you have entered a contest. This is now a good poem that I can read, and I understand it as I've been in a similar position. Ignore the bad-mouthers and be friendly to them. Really confuses them.

This is a powerful and moving piece that captures the feeling of being falsely accused or misunderstood. The use of vivid imagery and language creates a sense of oppression and isolation, making it a relatable and impactful piece for many readers.

This poem is very emotional. Your words are very strong. "They cast me in a false mold of lies," wow. It is so easy for people to make assumptions and decide a person's character incorrectly. It's hard to change a mind once that happens. Your poem hits on human nature, and the struggle to clear a name unfairly sullied. Well done.

Innuendo can be just as damaging as plain harsh words as when we are suspected of wrong doing when we are innocent we do feel betrayed by lies and of course you said all this with so few words here Lea, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
