Poem

Dark 

and Gloomy

Light

and Bright

Unknowingly known

The obvious secrecy that

keeps us apart

We know not the differences that 

we seem

to bear

Only the truth

we seem

to share

A falsehood thats

true

In this poem I chose to focus on three major techniques. Enjambment, Oxymorons, and Rhyme.

I wanted to try to use enjambment because I have never really tried it before! I have written poems before, but I have never known that that was a possible option! 

I also focused on oxymorons because I really enjoy coming up with those! My friends and I sometimes even have wars by seeing who can come up with the most oxymorons! So that was really fun to do.

The last thing that I focused on was Rhyme. I have always rhymed in my poems but I thought I would make it sound more efficient and formal here. I used an inner rhyme because I feel like the ones at the end of the line sound to "Dr. Suess".
