Writing Group: Poetry – Antithesis

I try and do poetry once a month and lately I’ve been highlighting using Figurative Language. This week we looked at antithesis. My hope with this is to make writing club members aware of tools that they can use later in other writing projects.

Antithesis: uses parallel structure to juxtapose contrasting ideas. (Grammarly.com)

This prompt inspired some beautiful pieces. One of them could be a children’s book about learning how to accept and love yourself. Mine is not that good but that does not mean that I’m not happy with it. Let me know what you think in the comments.

The world is designed for 
morning people
Up early, busy early
Don’t get me wrong, 
I love a sunrise 
But the night is quiet. 

The world expects us 
To be available 24/7
That is a cause for anxiety
All creatures need rest
Need peace away from 
Constant communication.

The world revolves around 
The desires of the few
Ignoring the needs
Of the many
Until we rise up 
Fighting for what 
we deserve

We deserve quiet
and peace 
and rest. 
We deserve 
to live well.

Texas born, I grew up hunting and fishing. Now I love travel and cooking, a good beer and a great story. People are their stories and I hope to share mine. I have a ridiculously adorable canine companion named Bear, a supportive family, and a wonderful husband.
