Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Pantoum

Master Disguise

I am a master pleaser, my feelings buried deeper than restless bones.
I will shade you from midsummer sun, and you’ll never know I was crying.
My iced tea and sweet berry disguise protects you or maybe me?
Let me find you frowning amongst sprawled picnic blankets,
I will shade you from midsummer sun, and you’ll never know I was crying. 
I will fan out a red-and-white checkered smile before you.
Let me find you frowning amongst sprawled picnic blankets, 
I will seek a daisy from my own bouquet or share a sugar candy touch. 
I will fan out a red-and-white checkered smile before you.
My iced tea and sweet berry disguise protects you or maybe me…
I will seek a daisy from my own bouquet or share a sugar candy touch.
I am a master pleaser, my feelings buried deeper than restless bones.

It also brings thoughts of delightful summer picnics to mind. Beautifully penned!
