Costumes
And hiding masks
Deceive the seeking eyes.
So, does Halloween come but once
A year?

antique,
Thank you. I am glad you understood the message. It is hard to get enough into this form to make things clear. I think that is why I enjoy it so. Well wishes with your contest. -

thank you for entering my contest ..
there isn't a great deal I can say on this piece in terms of critique .. although the syllable count is perfect considering it's a cinquain and all
.. I used to run a series of cinquain contests, and I do love the form ..
I think I understand the underlying message to your piece too .. which is good because I don't usually 'get' a lot of the tiny writes by way of hidden meanings
Anyways, like I said, there isn't much I can do in terms of critique, so I'll just end this comment by saying that it is a wonderful write, and it says a great deal for a short write, which is in essence what this contest is all about .. so thank you very much for entering and I wish you the best of luck in the contest

a very interesting, perplexing message that goes deeper beyond the holiday. Very well done. The syllable count appears to be correct. I enjoyed reading and thanks for another well done entry.
