Dear Sandra what a beautiful contradiction in your two lines: "For the whole world to see,
Not my goal; will not be." kind of to be or not be, but let it be:) Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings

This work has reached the exceptional level

Poem met the criteria, two lines, six syllables per line. It's a rather cryptic work, with the picture adding more mystery to it. Which is the 'real face?' The mask, or the physical representation of the woman. I, as one can tell, liked it.

I thought this was an excellent Essence poem. It fit the required formatting and rhyme scheme. You're right that people don't disclose everything about themselves. Thanks for sharing your poem here.

Hi, Sandra; this is quite a mysterious piece. There is so much hidden within the last line of this poem, and the artwork brings your words to another dimension. I love to look at the whole picture when I read short poems. I loved this one.

I like your poem and the theme spoken of - many of us are private people and have no desire to share our inner selves publicly.

(I note that there is no internal rhyme, in the middle of each line as the prompt said, but it still obviously got past the committee, which I find a bit confusing.)

    Thank you for reading my poem and rating it. The committee explained the internal rhyme was between the two lines together. In the first line it is the word WHOLE and the rhyming word to whole in the second line was GOAL. Thanks!

You have met all the listed requirements, both internal and ending rhymes. Sounds like a public, private world, can be confusing but realistic. Nicely Done.
