When our childhood ends,
to keep the others at bay,
we put on our masks.

    Is this guy mean, or does he merely need a shave?

    A dynamic ceremonial mask! Amazing design and colour! And how I love your haiku! We do tend to adopt masks for situations and for self-protection!

    Some people, I think, wear a mask of one kind or another more than they should.

    So sad that we feel the need to hide behind masks!

    Love this one though!
