Inspired by the theme at
Day 9, almost one third of this September Heights lies behind us. Today's prompt is Gloss ... I think I can write a few nice haiku with this prompt. Maybe I will write for today a none cascading haiku set, if I can do that of course, because I have become an addictive to that form (smiles).

dark green eyes
hidden behind a mask -
she's mysterious
she's mysterious
breathtaking glamorous mask
attractive force
attractive force
mystical and magical
who is she?
who is she?
thrills of unmasking at midnight
exposed to the world
exposed to the world
she turns into a man with
dark green eyes
Well ... this is really something heh ...

I am laughing out loud! Your surprise ending and I'm thinking that your cascading poems are writing themselves! Good one!
That was a cool surprise ending! I didn't know that gloss could mean masquerade. You captured the feeling of a masquerade very well (in more ways than one...).
Guffaw! Can't wipe the grin off my face! Really a great cascading haiku (I didn't know about these until I read yours a few days ago).
Really great take on the prompt. And I enjoyed the ending.
Your surprise ending is really unexpected. I enjoyed reading this.
A man??? Note to self: don't put all your trust in one pronoun :) Ah well... this is quite a wonderful take of the prompt. I didn't know either that masquerade is one meaning of gloss. I appreciate your research and thank you for sharing it with us.
A man, ha..ha...turns out to be not mysterious after all ~
Nice cascading haiku ~
Oh, wow! That was a surprise :-)
Great as usual.
Love your cascade. It reminded me of the mask festival in Venice.
haiku enriched with surprise and laughter.. :)
oooohhh so good!! I particularly like the start and the end. :)
Can she/he turn into something else at will? :)
Lost Gloss
