Challenge
Reflection Choka
Time for a truly epic challenge. Write a Choka, a form of Japenese long poem. This is a group of lines of 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-7 syllables. It doesn't have to rhyme. I'm giving it a theme of reflection. Enjoy the process.
Mask
I look back on life
In a world so sadly dark
Yet I reminisce
Despite my breakdowns
Strange looks from the bystanders
I blind myself now
Hiding from publicity
Embracing my true feelings
I become anew, unmasked
