Behind the Masks
October 29, 2010
Dancers in the masquerade ball
Glittering
Flittering
Hiding
Behind the masks of silver and gold
Fairies
Peacocks
Shadows
Lengthen the walls as twilight falls
Laughing
Talking
Hesitating
When the chandelier begins to flicker
Whisper
Shiver
Gather
And look up
As the lights are extinguished... and the masks come off

All of the images are from Teen Ink, and it takes forever to find the best ones. ^_^

Very different from your other poems. Great job on tackling another approach ... really like this one.
