What Lies Beneath (OSS)


Photo by Rosa Frei
What lies beneath
the veil of black?
What secrets does
it’s folds hold back?

Eyes show doubt
and lack of trust
Such sadness at
a world unjust.

Or is the face
just a worn down mask
Weathered by the blistering
sand blasting task

  1. Great rhythm and rhyme flowing through the first three stanzas with a nice twist in the form at the end. Very nicely done challenge response!
