Unmasked, her smile summons hope held hostage by fear. It feels good to feel free again, assign yesterday's woes to memory and once more, indulge in a hug received in a world where everyone's smile's unmasked. (Rictameter) 02/10/2022 Give me a Rictameter! Poetry Contest Sponsored by: M. L. Kiser

Nice! If I may ask, why are the selected categories 10th and 11th grade? Or how is that determination made? I’m new here and just curious, thanks!

Thanks, Jeff, the categories 10th and 11th grade is my opinion as to the type of reader that would appreciate this type of poem best, nothing more, my friend, Emile.
