Doris Culverhouse Poet Tanka

Concealer

Bag of tricks contest sponsored by Linda-Marie

Concealer 
by Doris Culverhouse

Concealer covers
Restless nights, wrinkles and age
Spackle for the face
My bag of tricks will contain
Light and dark sticks for all flaws

Keep those telling flaws
closely covered never let
others see the real
superficial me later
Imperfections are pure
