Notes About The Poem

A new form to me; just giving it a go.

Mask Or Shroud

At rules she'd curse
Wear masks? Worse still! 
Her hearse awaits

Whoa! Superb utilization of the than-bauk form. It's so hard to get a coherent message across, and yours is so much more than thought. Profound penning, FJ! :) gw

FJ, I have so many masks to choose from now. Funny, I don't like photos without one now. I can hide a smile or frown in plain sight. -Richard

I hope you guys stay that way Jan! If a mask reduces my catching or spreading this even remotely it is worth the sweaty nose!

Good one. Sad that she could not conform to the rules. Reads like a good contender. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara

Thanks Sara :) It's not for a contest; but I've been seeing this form a lot when reading poems, and it was new to me, so I just wanted to give it a shot.
