The Masked Lady

I looked through the storefront window
and behind a case of glass
stood a lovely child-like woman
living behind a mask.

Her mask was ornately decorated,
but she really was quite plain
And when she took off one facade,
another mask took its place.

She winked at me to come closer;
For fear of the doubt I said no.
For I wasn’t sure if it was her
Or the mask that had wanted me so.

    Nice imagery. That middle quatrain is a bit shaky, but the whole is strong. If you can tweak the middle, this should be submitted to calliope.

    Love.

  • About Lucid Waking

    Lucid Waking is a literature and art blog that started as Shades of Pink in 2004. Lucidwaking.net has housed my fiction since June 2006 and shortly after grew to include art and photography. Most of the written work is in a draft phase--although gone through a precursory edit--and should be evaluated with a grain of salt. Every year Lucid Waking grows and gets better and I hope to keep satisfying my readers.
