The multi-coloured masks
Putting on the blue mask coloured like the sleek sea
I saw the sea as deep as could be,
I saw the smooth sky shooting up high,
I saw sadness slithering inside.
Putting on the pink mask as caring as a careful couple
I saw a lovely law,
I saw a helpful heart perfect for persistent people
I saw a door where people stay forever more
Putting on the black mask while hiding in the small shadows
I saw an onyx proving your not honest
I saw charcoal making my life fall
I saw mad marker making things darker

Well done Jack. You’ve gor some great alliteration in this poem. We really like the line, “I saw the sea as deep as could be…” as the internal rhyme works well. But, be careful not to try too hard to get your poem rhyming as sometimes it becomes unstuck. It’s better to choose careful words to paint images in this sort of poem.
