The Holiday Masks

I wore the mask of fireworks and saw,

Flaming colours fill the desperate night sky,

A sparkler waiting to be lit and a

Crackling fire exploding in pain.

I wore the mask of Halloween and saw,

A pumpkin rotting in agony,

Children walking with an empty basket and a

Costume tired after a long day of work.

I wore the mask of Christmas and saw,

A downhearted robin trying to fly away,

The tears of a hungry elf waiting to be fed and

The happiness of an owl when snow has finally fallen.

I wore the mask of Easter and saw,

A mystical hare giving out rainbow eggs,

A bunny dancing happily and

Chocolate fills the room like a bomb.
