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.

Paradox

I realised now that I know nothing,

It was the beginning of the end,

The only constant being change,

It’s bittersweet, my friend.


I was busy doing nothing,

Spending money to make money,

Trying to act naturally,

Sometimes less is more, my honey.


I was saving time by spending it,

Now the deafening silence nears,

Heading for the circle’s end,

But you can’t get there from here.
