Jean Murray Poet Rhyme

Deception

A wolf in sheep's clothing.
Are you supposing
I would not end up knowing?

My heart and mind opening
at each new meeting.
A warm greeting.

Another one deceiving.
Where is this leading?
My heart starts bleeding.

No more of this teasing.
I am now retreating.
Disgusted and seething.

A sheep in wolves clothing.

Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2018 at 12:43 AM short and not sweet, but very clever and GREAT write. Jean Murray January 18, 2018 at 1:36 AM Thank you Andrea.

Connie Marcum Wong January 17, 2018 at 12:20 AM If they lie to you once you can bet it will be repeated. My ex was that way which is why he is my ex. Lol. Loved your poem Jean! : ) Jean Murray January 17, 2018 at 1:39 AM Thank you Connie. I agree.

Jan Allison January 16, 2018 at 5:42 PM I hate being deceived and lied to Jean and so many people are willing to take the opportunity to try and pull the wool over our eyes - hope you kicked him into touch and find someone you really deserve - ugh men!!!:-( hugs jan xx Jean Murray January 16, 2018 at 6:03 PM I'm out of the race now Jan. I just can't take the bullshit anymore.

Ilene Bauer January 15, 2018 at 2:17 PM well said, jean! it's so disappointing when someone ends up being different from the person you thought he was. i love how you flipped the first and last lines... Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 2:47 PM Lovely to see you Ilene. I meant to continue at the end but decided that one line said it all.

Susan Ashley January 15, 2018 at 1:47 PM Ohh Jean, you express the heartache, disappointment and anger so poetically and beautifully. The truth always comes out. A wolf in sheep's clothing aptly describes this type of person and the pain they cause is woefully illustrated in your heartfelt write. Warmest wishes and loving thoughts for you my friend. ~Susan Susan Ashley January 15, 2018 at 4:06 PM I completely understand and agree with what you said Jean. Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 1:58 PM Thank you for understanding Susan. It always hurts when trust is broken. Despite what Arturo may think, I am not a fool who does not mind being fooled.

Arturo Michael January 15, 2018 at 1:03 PM It's like a good bite of chocolate, and it's not good for you...but you eat it anyway... No one can really be fooled unless they don't mind being fooled... All the best Jean...A nice poem indeed Arturo Michael January 15, 2018 at 6:07 PM Sorry, Jean...Never meant it in a negative way... It was to raise the consciousness of every interaction that takes place...people say things but their action says more...Please forgive if I crossed you in any way Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 1:53 PM AND, my mantra when my daughters were small was "What does Mammy hate most in all the world?? Lies!!" Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 1:15 PM But I DO mind Arturo.

Tim Smith January 15, 2018 at 10:41 AM Seems like to many people hide their real selves... especially the married guys Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 10:48 AM Aye Tim....isn't it shameful?

Heidi Sands January 15, 2018 at 8:14 AM You have pointed this out well Jean and that is difficult to go through. Take care :) Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 9:33 AM It is Heidi because my approach is trustful, like a child.

Vijay Pandit January 15, 2018 at 6:27 AM Quite revealing...you wrote it well Jean to expose the phony. Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 6:53 AM I consider myself a decent human being Vijay. My thinking has always been that I cannot be the only one around. In practise, romance repeatedly lets me down. C'est la vie moderne pour vous.

Anne-Lise Andresen January 15, 2018 at 6:20 AM - Cut the wool of ... see what is on the inside, dear Jean - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jean Murray January 15, 2018 at 6:54 AM Good advice Anna-Lise. Thank you.
