The Grand Masquerade
the Grand Masquerade
does not involve ballgowns
and rejects tuxedos
the Greatest and Truest
faithfully make ornate masks
of emotion, donned just as
the sun comes up and
left to seep in the skin
the Grand Masquerade is
ceaseless, unerring charades
performed into reality

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
