Quite often, it feels as though we live in a world full of oxymorons. An oxymoron combines two words with opposite or conflicting meanings, often adding humor, irony, or emphasis. In other words, perhaps life needs a little irony and humor to help us survive the daily stress!
Think of phrases like “pretty ugly,” “working vacation,” “only choice,” and “awful good.” And the list goes on!
So, why not have some fun and write a poem using oxymorons? Let me share mine with you.😉
Meditation on My Morning Run
By Jean J. Lee
My
friend asks me why I run
I
say that I do for the bittersweet pain that feels so good and hurts so
bad
My
standard super shoes help me stay calm with their loud silence of
strides
Yes,
running seems like a demulcent for heartaches and a nettlesome trigger of fatigue.
The
passing runner I met on the road was wearing a beautiful natural make-up
I
was like ‘She must have spent an hour to put on a make up to look natural.’
Her
invincible smudge-proof eyelines might need some all-melt remover in the
end!
I
love all runners with cool passion in this world
With
every stride, the darkness visible in this world would be dislimned
If
my friend asks me again if I’ll get in another run tomorrow morning?
I’d
say “definite maybe!” if I wake up in a mood of festive tranquility!
