Paradox
Definition: A statement that seems impossible at first but actually makes sense.
Examples
Dark knows daylight
"Dark knows daylight" is an example of paradox because dark and daylight are opposites, and yet here they have something in common.
Hot understands
Cold
"Hot understands cold" is an example of paradox because hot and cold are opposites, but yet the stanza says that they understand each other. This is a paradox because the stanza doesn't seem to make sense. However, a paradox poem will explain how two opposite or very unlike things can be related in some way.
Dark and light
Dark remembers light,
The day they separated,
They try to be friends, but
can't.
Dark doesn't like light
Their friendship no longer exists.
By Alex
NIGHT REMEMBERS LIGHT
Night
remembers the light of a
newborn
star.
Night remembers how he held
the little
star,
And now you can see
the star,
Much bigger now
for now it is
the sun.
