   La méfiance ne doit pas exclue la confiance. Les marchands de faux sentiments se cachent effectivement derrière leur masque..
   Superbes lignes @Kira (Yakira) Fulks 💞

   How mellifluous, deceitful, glamorous, beguiling the masks (?) or who wears them … so be careful with what you see … I can see here kind of the deep concept of Carnival!!
   Superb and charming capture of the prompt!!
   Thank you for playing!!

   Wonderful rhythm … a warning, almost a spell of sorts. Reminds me of Macbeth.

   This grabbed my attention — not just because I have Venus square Neptune natally, though I’m sure that helped. It is more that this feels like a troubadour song of warning against false lovers, incorporating the astrological archetype like soothsayer ritual indicating ancient knowledge.

    I shall be warned dearest Yakira. You words like sentinels. Protector. Guardians. I shall be warned. 🌪

    Well penned, this warning
    to defend tender hearts that could be rendered
    wasted, defaced, torn apart.

    Bravo to you, bard, brave and true,
    that your words might help the innocent
    ward off the deceitful few.

    This truly describes the last several relationships I attempted to have with several women. You describe their character to perfection!

    Since we are deep into a new normal of wearing face masks, your poem was a refreshing surprise becuz it’s NOT about that well-worn topic! I like how your thought-stream feels fiesty & upbeat, rambling & rhyme-ish. Nicely loose & rhthymic
