Mask is donned
Behind blind truth is buried
Debil and destructive bond
Mask withdrawn
Unforeseen anguish unleashed
Unhinged without armor on
Mask crumbles
Disguised lies divulge themselves
From stirring eyes truth tumbles
Sadje’s What do you see # 234
I chose a form and subject from Val’s Looking at Poems Around the World:
“3. Ireland: Treochair – An Irish form consisting of tercets (3 line stanzas) of any number. It is syllabic with 3/7/7 syllables per stanza and a rhyme scheme where the 1st and 3rd lines of a stanza rhyme. Heavy alliteration is expected with all 3 lines within a stanza. You may find inspiration in Lies versus Truth…”
A beautiful poem Jennifer. Thanks for joining in.

Fantastic poem! I liked the narrative progression across the verses, and the truth bookended in the first and final verses.
