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.

Shallow Paradox

In the twilight's tender, quiet glow, "Deep down, you're really shallow," murmurs the shadow. A paradox woven into the fabric of dusk, A cosmic riddle, a poetic musk. Within the tapestry of the fading light, A paradoxical dance takes flight. Shallow whispers, profound sighs, In the paradox, the heart complies. Beneath the crescent moon's soft allure, A paradox emerges, both subtle and pure. Surface reflections, a mere veneer, Yet within the shallows, a depth sincere. As stars awaken in the vast expanse, A paradoxical interlude, a celestial dance. In the shallow pools of stardust dreams, Depth and shallowness entwine in gleams. Through the corridors of time's own rhyme, A paradox meanders, transcending time. Shallow footsteps echo deep within, A paradoxical journey about to begin. In the laughter of waves upon the shore, A paradoxical symphony, forevermore. Shallowness conceals the ocean's might, Yet paradoxically, depth takes its flight. The zephyr's whisper through leaves so green, A paradoxical secret, seldom seen. Shallowness cradles profound mystery, A paradoxical union, a dance of history. In the reflection of the mirrored lake, A paradoxical ripple, choices to make. Shallowness mirrors the depth of thought, A paradoxical journey, intricately wrought. As dawn unfolds its golden wing, The paradox deepens, a mystical spring. In the duality of shadows and light, A paradoxical poem takes flight. So, in the labyrinth of paradoxical art, Where the shallow conceals a world apart, A poetic tale unfurls, in joy and sorrow, With paradoxes that start, continue, and borrow.
