Prompt 112: Mask

Thanks to Dreams are my Reality for this week's post, mask.

We each wear such an invisible mask

To hide the true self, disguise the real thing

Some good, some pretty, some ugly, we bask

Behind the smiles hides she in angst

Yet projects herself a cheerful, happy being

We each wear such an invisible mask

She talks so bubbly, keeping all aghast

Yet conceals in her shell her mood upswing

Some good, some pretty, some ugly, we bask

She pretends to do a happy task

Yet sulking at work, eager in fleeing

We each wear such an invisible mask

She talks of romance and love that last

Yet bereft of love in act that is contrasting

Some good, some pretty, some ugly, we bask

She acts so strong, brave in such vast

Yet deep inside, vulnerable timid thing

We each wear such an invisible mask

Some good, some pretty, some ugly, we bask

Some notes on this post:

This is my 26th week at One Single Impression, hosted by Andree of Meeyauw and Sandy Carlson of Writing in Faith. Wheww....what an accomplishment...! Thanks to Leo of Symphony for ushering me here...:))

Thanks to the hosts, too, for considering one of my prompt suggestions. This week's prompt (Mask) is mine. I wish a great participation from all OSI writers. And I wish to be here for as long as nothing would hinder me.

Have a great day everyone!

Prompt 111: Vicarious

Barely Living

"I exist, such like winds that blow—
Mere half a man swimming on air,
Heart, dangling precariously—
And empty; soul awry

A gust; and I fade into the nether—
Until memories faltering
rekindle their other half…
But til then, I can lie half awake."

"I can only wish, wish to see;
To feel the wind, your face—my life…
And not the sound across the fog—
Stifled breathing, resounding cries

Oh, how a person holds my fate
And that, my world and then my heart;
To want to live but cannot fight
the shrouds of time to see his eyes

Prompt 110: Cognizance

This week's prompt is cognizance, and the Online Etymology Dictionary defines the word this way:

c.1350, from Anglo-Fr. conysance "recognition," later, "knowledge," from O.Fr. conissance "knowledge," from pp. of conoistre "to know," from L. cognoscere "to get to know, recognize," from co- "together" + gnoscere "to know" (see notice). The -g- was restored in Eng. spelling 15c. and has gradually affected the pronunciation. Hence, cognoscente (pl. cognoscenti), 1778, from It., from L.
