Thoughts

The Mask it cannot hide
those feelings deep inside
that squeeze the senses tight
to try and recall a
time of love,lust and sin
then you realize now
thoughts are all you have left

Thanks, Linda: But I was just warned that I have to have one title beginning with a T. I did correct it. I was using her photo of the masks as a theme.

;this is nice, but do you know the rules of this form? You have to make one title and then all the first words of your acrostic going down have to begin with that letter. Go check out her example!
