Opposites make the world go round! And certainly make it more interesting, if not always comfortable. For dVerse Poets.
Sun or moon and smooth or rough,
old or young and clothed or buff––
opposites contrast each other––
tough or easy, breathe or smother.
Shadows can be made with light,
though sun is opposite of night.
Sarcasm depends on this:
words that praise, but really diss.
Life consists of contrasts that
give yin for yang and tit for tat.
If you can’t find a life to fit,
just change into its opposite!
Reach for the hidden, release the found.
Contrasts make the world go round.

I love this! It feels like a song that’s still playing in my head.

Love the rhyming scheme and I totally agree that one should change to a completely opposite life, if one is not satisfied with his or he’s current life.

Nice lines: “Shadows can be made with light,
though sun is opposite of night.” I also liked the description of sarcasm, a dissing form of praise. Nice metrical sound.

LOVING your take on this….the rhythm and rhyming really add to the mood of it also. The illustration is fantastic! And these lines
“Sarcasm depends on this:
words that praise, but really diss.” Have never thought of sarcasm as contained within the realm of opposites but it truly is!
And love that last line! 🙂
