Silent Letters and Oxymorons
First Place
Contest by Natasha L. Scragg
Carefully Careless Smart Sophistication. Half Full or HALF Empty needs Clarification. Remaining Conscious, guy seems to be Callous ! Speaks Truth on False Statement Simultaneous. Owing to adversity our love was shattered. My yearnings and dreamy desires were scattered. I claimed Freedom, he went without a Protest. Factually gave Life - Imprisonment at best. Showing Intelligence on a Foolish Action. Sad glances on a Cheerful Interaction. Oasis and Mirage show Contradiction. Expressed Reality in guise of Fiction. Glances on Support but Verbal Refusal. Consent saying with a Wave of Dismissal. Grasping Money at random merciless. on Eye-Wash of fake donation, more or less.
