#TankaTuesday – Behind the Mask

The challenge this week is to write syllabic poetry about what lies behind the mask. Thanks to Yvette and Colleen for the inspiration.

knives within their hearts
a perfect smile that could kill
a confident gait
a befitting mask to win,
to dazzle the admirers

***

the show continues
till you creep behind their skin
to uncover the lies
true tales tumble out soon
finally, the facade falls
