Oxymoronic Elements
Something I came up some weeks back. The song lyric from Aerosmith's Hole in My Soul was playing in my head earlier on, and it lead to this poem!
For you English teachers and teachers- to-be, see if you can spot how many oxymorons i used in it. And what else did you observe in this poem? There's no right or wrong answers, I will leave it to your own interpretation. Just bear in mind that no one died nor did I murder anyone to come up with this ;)
You’re lying there on the earthen ground
The silence is deafening; yet you don’t make a sound
You turn a blind eye and do not want to be found
But some say what goes around comes around
He’s running round in circles but there’s nowhere to turn
Giving too much till there’s nothing left to yearn
All those memories in his head starts to burn
He’s stuck in a timeless moment just to relearn
I’m sitting here in the rain and cold
Listening to the thunder rumble and roll
Bear in mind all that glitters is not gold
And tonight, there’s a hole in my soul
She’s standing on her windowsill with the stars so bright
Letting all her anxieties go out from sight
A zephyr catches fire in the stark white night
And somehow.. she knows it’s going to be alright.
