Best Masking Poems

The experts say to double-mask
For maximum protection,
But such advice will certainly
Be met with mass rejection.

Since time and time again, I see
When crowds are squashed together,
So many maskless faces,
Birds of such a foolish feather.

At least down in Australia
Where some parts are Covid-free,
The masklessness makes sense to...

To ward off those germs from afar
I’m using a tatty old bra
It can’t be a task
To make a face mask
I’ll model it like a film star!

But sewing skills, none to be had -
My home made mask looks very bad
No way does it fit
I look a...

One day she was Jane
 Next day she was Mary
 Was she going insane?
 I found it quite scary

 She went to the therapist
 He treated her with hypnosis
 For a while she was fine
 And then she said her name was Caroline

 So she...

boris broke the rules
attending garden parties
whilst WE stayed at home

He covers his back
rules are now to be relaxed
voters are not fools!

I am cynical
of politicians actions
If the truth be told

Mad,Macabre,
     dervish dancer,
do you think you have the answer?

Monster prancing 'cross the ceiling,
you go laughing,screaming
               squealing,
at the havoc you are wreaking,
can't you feel the life force leaking,

“THE MASKING OF LOSS”



we used to talk a lot. 
we collaborated our ideas 
into something that's had 
me hooked since. 
she's been in a new 
relationship for a while 
and it's clearly gone 
to her head. 
there hasn't been much 
time between the two but...

Path's cross
Things change

People aren't who
I thought they were

I met other people
I made friends

And you weren't who 
I thought you were

But I guess
I'm not who I was either

Path's cross
Things change...

silence marks a fool a wise man - a closed mouth marks understanding


Proverbs 17-28....Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. (KJV)

I sometimes wonder
whether you are wearing 
a mask, that your alluring 
crimson blush and perfume 
is a subterfuge
made up to enamor me -
not crafted by a desire
to deceive but by a need
to conceal, that beneath
your beauty lies a truer self
you do not want
to reveal.

Perhaps you...

I have a disguise 
It keeps me safe from lesions
They look at my mask

The mask is gilded
Few will ask what's underneath
They look at my shoes

My shoes they are plain
Noone knows where I have walked
They look at my eyes

My eyes they look back
Opaque, smeared and inconstant...

I saw a guy on the older side, he donned a mask
(All jokes aside) I do believe it worked for him'
On election days with glitz and spin, he soon found
That it would always magic away, all doom sayers
On most weak-days' also he didn't need a...

I'm smiling
But I'll never tell
What makes me shine,
My heart to swell.
It is my secret
Mine alone
That makes me shine
My eyes, my soul.
For deep inside
I feel it rise
Words and art
My daily prize.
I close my eyes
So proud am I That in my soul
Pure joy resides...

The birds will sing when I wake,
The crowd will clap, the ground will quake. 
I’ll be heard, I’ll be seen, 
Touching the hearts of the unseen.
I’ll reach the stars, I’ll reach the moon, 
Leaving echoes in every room.
My words will ripple through the air,
A spark...

Maybe I should put my mask back on, squeeze back in my mold.

I’m too loud, too colorful, too different; at least that's what I’m told.

I tried so hard to blend into the crowd,
Whispered when I wanted to scream out loud.

But the mask is heavy, the...
