Monday Morning thought

[Delta40]

I put on my make-up
so people can't tell
who I really am
its getting to be
a hassle
hiding the authentic me
I don't understand
this life sentence
I think mothers
pass it down
for them to give
to their daughters

[lallison]

I love the opening to this poem:

I put on my make-up
so people can't tell
who I really am
what a great line.
Is there a reason why you decided not to punctuate? Since this peice is gramatically correct in all ways , but absence the punctuation, I was just wondering if i missed your reasoning behind it.
Anyhow, interesting thought. Would fit nicely into a daily thought journal.

Unique and original thought!
Short but thought-provoking!
I love it!

I seem to forget punctuation in poetry. a pre-menopause reflection when I did my hair this morning.

I think it's great without punctuation!

Again a nicely observed reflection on an aspect of the human condition, especially the feminine half :)

We all wear different masks but for the most part women paint theirs on, whereas men just project or disguise their personas, depending on the company they keep. (unless they're clowns of course). Not all masks are apparent, but everyone has one :D

Nice poem D40 H

Up to your usual standard delta - a touch of the blues ('Woke up this mornin' etc., etc.)

[Haunted]

to me it's more like a Monday thru Friday morning thought...

Who needs punctuation when the thought itself is so perfect!

Break that cycle Delta :)

I think we can all indentify with this, in one way or another. Superb - short, pithy and to the point, but it makes you think about the daily drudge.
