POEM STARTER

"Deep down, you're really shallow"

Paradox - a phrase which would appear to contradict itself, but makes metaphorical sense. Write a poem that starts and ends with a different paradox.

Known Stranger

Deep down,you’re really shallow ,

says the person

with an expression

similar to crying,

as they look at the person in front of them,

Now ,

they think, is the first time they saw the person again

after so many years.

A known stranger.

They look at mirror in front of them,once more,but this time,smiling.

Smiling at their own reflection,and this time,without tears.

Now,they let the stranger alone,and they step alone from the danger

that the ‘other person’ once bring to them.
