Masked

whither authenticity?

we soon learn to fall in line

it is tact, not duplicity

when you ask, I say I’m fine

I stumbled too, but only once

I don’t enjoy being called a dunce

all masks constructed carefully

I choose the most appropriate

which takes me to the right gate

it’s a life lived skilfully

The challenge is to write a Sonnetina Tre

1. If you are using the syllabic-count method, then down the left column write the numbers representing the syllables required for each line (typically 8 or 10). Regardless of how long you want your lines to be, they should all be the same length.
2. Across from the numbers, in the right column, write the letter for your rhyme scheme, whatever you have chosen (i.e. ababccdeed).
