Best Oxymoron Poems

Oxymorons are cynical and fun.
Be careful though if you want to use one.
If it is familiar, it may sound quite trite.
Which murders your poem with a harsh bite.

Deafening silence is way overdone.
Boisterously shy is a good one though, hon
Brilliant idiot may be available in a...

If you fear love, Love, love it cannot be, 
Love’s always there to lift your spirit up, 
Your sins to bear, like Christ on Calvary.
With love there‘s never a half empty cup.

Love's yoke is easy, its burden is light, 
Love's lullaby’s there to rock you...

The Oxymoron

Dark light flood - seeped the small room,
Music droned loud with a dull sharpness.
As people stood and danced alone together,
Violent sways of percussion brushed my ear
A teenage adult smiled grimly as courage fled,
When I, dared to ask the girl woman to dance.

Scientific systems sometimes seem strangely simple, so say I.
Complex calculations can cause casual, concentrated conversations.
--- Sometimes I can be STUPIDLY SMART.

I literally love laughing at little, light Limericks.
Finally feeling fantastic following Friday’s frenzied finish.

Sweet and salty
Deliciously complex
Nice, but naughty
Stripes with specks

Exalted face down
There but gone
A hopeful frown
An oxymoron

Giggles and grins
Too soon, you stink

True colors, vibrant
Rich and bold
Unpleasant. strident
Clashing hues roll

The opposite side
Of me, in action
The paint has dried
A blunt reaction

My pillow, a...

This poem is light as a heavy contradicting complement
and rhymes with no correspondence of sound sharp at
the cutting horizon’s edge of melting confusing fission
