Thalia or Melpomene
Thief of despair.
Giver of grins.
Protector of promises.
Keeper of secrets.

Jumper of ships.
Deliverer of disdain.
Scepter of sadness.

What horrors come
with the pretty masks you wear?

Intriguing poem with a high impact ending.
Thank you, Kevin — intrigue is excellent.
I love the title. Really sets the scene for the entire poem.
Thanks Geoff! I write the title last to make it all connect… or at least for personal enjoyment
