Mask Comments

Very good poetic discussion of the mask and how it affects the life of the wearer

Mask is better to be used. It can protect us from different virus to enter our body through mouth and nose. The inscription of mask made by you is so fantastic. The Last Stanza is amazing. Five stars.

I like these lines very much 'With the mask on, I can smile, When I want to frown It makes me seem at the mount of joy When I lie at the nadir of gloom It makes me appear composed When there is a scalding cauldron inside It camouflages my wails into songs I need a mask to appear normal To keep my insanity hidden'...a poem with a very natural expression ....many many stars

Congratulations on getting selected for the poem of the day, Valsa! A very nice poem, presented in a timely manner considering today's circumstances!

'It is now my shield and armour' - It's only a piece of cloth, but yes, indeed it's now a shield of armour. 'With the mask on, I can smile, When I want to frown' - loved the idea! The question at the end is intriguing. Heartiest congratulations to one of my favorite poets on her poem's selection as the 'Member Poem of the Day'!

The other side of wearing masks for protection from physical harm and for our safety against dreaded disease. We must always conform with existing rules for its implementation for the welfare of everybody. Beautifully crafted and well executed write. Congratulations, Valsa, for a well deserved accolade.

Our desire to fit in with a group or society as a whole drives us to wear masks that will enable us to conform with the norms and standards set forth. Masks lie yet we need in life for protection and acceptance. However, in my own humble opinion, there is no substitute in showing to the whole world our true colors. We shall not yield to anyone just to conform if we are not happy.

A profound and thought provoking poem. Perceptive lines that draw the effects of wearing a mask. The metaphor of wearing masks connotes that we have to protect our vulnerable inner true selves.

Its interesting, I was not thinking of Covid-19 when reading this, but the human condition inwhich we must bury our inherit feelings and submerge them for social acceptance. Although I see the covid aspects, in both cases Intel are to this. Stunning poem Valsa.

Mask! ! ! ! 😷 Covering the mouth and, The nose! Protection; Because of coronavirus! ! ! ! Muse of the first plague. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I was able to read these lines and not think of COVID at all Valsa, but the mask we all wear, as poets, as lovers, seeking love and if not love, then to at least do no harm (but to still be present, to own the space of our existence.) A masterful, a soulful communication my friend!

I feel secure in this mask And I live a life apart from life.... //.... The poem takes an overview of masks that people wear to protect themselves from SARS-CoV-2 and also to camouflage their real personality or intentions to gain benefits in an unauthorised manner or to hoodwink others for ulterior motives. While one is seen, the other is unseen. Thanks, Valsa ji.

Brilliant, Valsa! We all wear masks, metaphorical and, these days, literal. Would removing the metaphorical mask cause shock, concern, suffocation. Would it prompt others to ask, " Who are you, really? " This goes right to myfavourites.

It is now my shield and armour It sticks close to my face It has become my identity And I live a life apart from life A lovely meditation on the mask. lovely and to the point. tony Congrats dear Professor Valsa for POD. tony
