Carnival

“Shadorma” ~Carnival~ A glimmer of turquoise catches my eyes’ gaze from sequins which adorn a mask set on a picturesque face. Instantly I am drawn to her. Streets alive, carnival. But I see only her face beauty not masked. Written by Theresa Taylor For Nette Onclaud’s “Share a Shadorma” contest with topic: carnival.

Thanks much. I am not sure why my poem ended up this way. I was lying in bed thinking about the theme of carnival, and all I could think about was magenta sequins and turquoise feathers on a mask, but then with the restraints of the syllables of a shadorma this developed.
