933 - The Mask



Haiku Horizons has the prompt: mask.


The Mask

We all wear a mask.
Few see who we really are—
It is protection


We all wear a mask.
We wear many masks, in fact.
Playing many roles.


We all wear a mask.
Clowns have known the truth for years.
Survival tactic.

  1. Even without physically wearing one we all wear a mask. Funny that one likes not to reveal much of ourselves! Very true Cosmo!

  2. I wish any of my masks were as dramatic, exotic and beautiful as the one pictured.

    We hunt after this
    In seasons that hold ever
    That road used to hope

Take your time, look around,
There is lots to see.
