One Single Impression: Paradox
Paradox Trilogy
Oh you paradox
try to put you in a box
--make mine out of pine?
Ashes to ashes
once for every gal or guy
--surely will not die?
I die quickly then
brightly burns the fire for me
--awake! dream will end!
...................................
Trials and Tribulations
Paradox was lost
how and why did it happen
Paradise is not
Paradox still lost?
see very brilliant pupil
grins - his Sad Report
Paradox not lost
pupil very brilliant not
shiny H'vn at last
..................................
A Paradox or Few
If came saw ate went
then quickies I like to have
--I like all quickies?
- - - - -
My neighbor I love
my neighbor steals lies covets
--love my neighbor still?
- - - - -
Never wrong am I
except just this one time when
I said never wrong

Jim--
You are a clever one!
Especially liked the last haiku!
Thanks again for speaking your mind on my post--
Beth
Those were all very excellent paradoxes-I especially liked the very last one!
Thank you for sharing these.
Excellent!!
And now my brain hurts ;-)
I enjoyed them all. Jim you are full of wit and energy. God bless.
Wise and playful! Thanks!
jim...that last one is killer good!!!
Some real good ones! Thanks. I enjoyed!
blank page soaked
Each one of these was so wonderfully thoughtful and yet so much fun. Did you hear me giggling?
Yes Jim, it does come across with the brilliant and not so brilliant. But the trilogy is so fun I couldn't pick out just one to comment on. How's that for a paradox :)
witty as always
Lovely ones. You kept the best for last. Cheers!
Jim, you've done a marvelous job writing poetry for OSI!
Very nice! Paradoxially wonderful!
"I enjoyed them all.. Jim ..you are full of wit and energy.. God bless"
..many thanks..
Wow, Jim. You were really inspired for this week's prompt while I was fairly well stumped!
I like how mix in the serious considerations of life and the humorous. We have to laugh or else!
