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.

How funny

The more I learned the less I knew

Flipping through pages I didn't understand

not even a few

One day I decided I wanted to know everything

I wanted to gain knowledge

I wanted to be wise

But wise in what

Time would pass by as I questioned what to do

Grateful that I stumbled across you

You showed me

how to Learn new things that many wouldn't want to

I thought it was interesting

How much I could learn about certain things

How flowers grew

And why the sky was so blue

Why birds sing

And butterflies dance

Why birds fly South when the wind takes its chance

I learned what it means to live

And give

But most of all I learned that not knowing is ok

Sometimes it's ok to save knowledge for the next day

So although I felt that I had learned so much there was more to know

And now I know that I know nothing at all
