Masking Poems - Poems about Masking

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 fear that if seen under the scrutiny of a clearer light, your mask...

This is a contest entry for Law of Physics and Humanity. The topic I chose was quantum superposition. Look back into your own life, use choices with what outcomes that could've been. For example being stuck behind a slow driver to only see that the car ahead of them wrecked. Each possibility is a state...

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 mold too tight, And shrinking myself doesn't feel quite right. So maybe...

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 of hope, a whispered prayer. I’ll build bridges where others fall, I’ll...

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 most, At least to some degree. But in the clueless U.S.A., Still deep...

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 right tit My husband won’t wear his, I’m glad! Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsored...
