Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 394 GLARE and Mask.

To mask one’s feelings From the glare of public eye Is personal choice. Some display their emotions Others show a poker face. The tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as “short song,” and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7…
