Mask Poem by Valsa George

Great closing lines! ! ! - - -> But if I peel it off, will it suffocate you? If only everybody would wear them, we would have the virus beat in two months at the least. Sigh.

Flowing with the flow of the poetry it painted the element of hide and seek we play trying to be who we sre not. I was thinking of face over face as mask. But yes this mask too is true. Beautiful ma'am.

Its interesting, I was not thinking of Covid-19 when reading this, but the human condition inwhich we must bury our inherit feelings and submerge them for social acceptance. Although I see the covid aspects, in both cases Intel are to this. Stunning poem Valsa.

A profound and thought provoking poem. Perceptive lines that draw the effects of wearing a mask. The metaphor of wearing masks connotes that we have to protect our vulnerable inner true selves.

Our desire to fit in with a group or society as a whole drives us to wear masks that will enable us to conform with the norms and standards set forth. Masks lie yet we need in life for protection and acceptance. However, in my own humble opinion, there is no substitute in showing to the whole world our true colors. We shall not yield to anyone just to conform if we are not happy.

Very good poetic discussion of the mask and how it affects the life of the wearer

Mask is better to be used. It can protect us from different virus to enter our body through mouth and nose. The inscription of mask made by you is so fantastic. The Last Stanza is amazing. Five stars.

I like these lines very much 'With the mask on, I can smile, When I want to frown It makes me seem at the mount of joy When I lie at the nadir of gloom It makes me appear composed When there is a scalding cauldron inside It camouflages my wails into songs I need a mask to appear normal To keep my insanity hidden'...a poem with a very natural expression ....many many stars
