Replying to a comment on:

new clothes, same old story (Free verse) by nypoet22

emperor passed stood on his stool tidy, full, manifest a cheer of castanets repressed the voice that dared call him ugly naked

Interesting that you don't punctuate the last line. It suggests that he's ugly (when) naked. If so, what is he the rest of the time? Beautiful? Or just hidden?

Nice and concise.
