If I had a six-star, you would be getting a six-star. I'm so sorry I don't have one :(
Overall presentation ... pure perfection.
So much truth in just 13 syllables. Your words had me pondering, 'which way do I go?'. Maybe, I'll just do it both ways. The mask writing sounds intriguing. Very thought-provoking.
This poem is a sure-fire winner :)

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the six offer, Gale. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and kind words. That's how I like to go with it, sometimes hiding behind a mask, sometimes adding a little truth in there, Lol. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Wow!! What an outstanding statement this is poet. And you did it in thirteen syllable. I'm thinking you may have some talent. Art is perfect for this post. And you literally knocked out the hidden personae many of us camp out in. This is VERY well crafted and I think you have a winner here. Good luck in your contest. Well done!!

Dear Anonymous Poet,

Wonderful use of the thirteen syllables to tell on yourself. Yes, it is true that some poets use their poetry to find or tell the truth. It is quite interesting that you feel your poetry is a mask.

I wish you luck in the contest,

~Mustang Patty~

    Thank you for the fantastic review, Mustang Patty. Yeah, there's not much of the 'real' me on this site. Lol. Sometimes a little true life pours on to the pages, but not too often. I really appreciate the gracious stars, MP. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a wonderful weekend.

You've written thirteen words into four lines that are most interesting to read. Somebody once said that, "Everybody has three faces, three masks if you will; one they show to the public, one that is private and one that is secret." Good luck in the contest.

Oh you did a wonderful job in getting a point across with only 13 syllables.
And it makes me wonder how many writers use a mask, instead of their truths? Thought provoking,...I like that...and not easy to do in so few words. Congratulations! ð???
