Reality hidden behind a sparkling sapphire mask
Jewel-encrusted lips puckered round the flask
Mystery

lovely imagery, 15 words spoke a lot
congrats on the Hm

Those two lines are fantastic. The last line kind of takes away from the general effect, for me, because I'm not entirely sure what its point is... Maybe if it were a whole line instead of just a word. But I guess that was the prompt. I like how it can be so short but at the same time so powerful. You've got a gift, my friend.

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Masked
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I did several times~ after inhaling Your words, I kept seeing Kirsten Gum from Cash and Treasures~ and a reference to cherry and then vanilla- Wild as it sounds...also was getting word: Stubborn-
reference to chores- and phrase: do what You need to do
also words: Get the job done
Nudged to mention~ follow Your Dream even though others may question- it is like You harbor the answer and had all along
I kept seeing New Orleans and Mardi Gras
Hopefully that makes sense
Powerful images You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
...puckered round the flask
Beautiful Voice spoken~
Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love~ Desire~*~

Hey sister!
This poems is very good. I like shorter poems before they can pack so much more emotion in fewer lines than a lengthy poem. Be proud of this sweetie, it's really good!

Interesting to use that rhyme in so few lines - works well here. So many different ways to interpret this picture prompt.
