This is in response to the reviews I received on this poem. 4/24/2015 Edward Phillips Survival sometimes forces us to wear masks.
But I agree--we dare not master the ruse.
4/23/2015 Jeff Mason Is this a self-portrait? ;-) Love it, no matter. -- Jeff (your picture doesn't exude "icy cold," so I doubt it's a self-portrait)
4/23/2015 Ronald Hull What a wonderful lesson. When I see authors hiding behind pseudonyms and false personas, it makes it much harder for me to believe anything they write.
Ron
4/23/2015 Michael Schafer Can't say it better than Jerry. Beautiful write.
Michael D.
4/23/2015 Jerry Bolton Yep. We all tend to hide behind masks, refusing to show our true selves. Short and very much to the point is this little beauty.

Jeff, congratulations on your poetry book release! About my poem, you should know that everything we write has a little bit of ourselves at the core, Silvia
Ed, I agree that survival makes us wear masks, and probably pride, fear to appear vulnerable,
Silvia
