Best Juxtaposition Poems


Hard Work Means Easy Success

This is a message to children who lack sincerity in school. Hard work always gives easy success. Whatever hardwork we do during our school days, decides our future for entire life. Its not only about studies but the sincerity which is developed along with it.

This is a story of two brothers.
Who lived together forever.

Both enjoyed the dignity of a patrician.
Well bred with values and tradition.
Sharp contrast of a Strategician and a tactician.

JUXTAPOSITION OF HARDWORK DURING SCHOOL DAYS

Given his druthers, Veerang would skip studies,
Would escape to play snooker and pool with buddies.
A boaster, prodigal spender and his pathological lies.
Hard work during childhood is just about studies, he didn’t realize.

Krishnang, sincere and studious, positive and jovial.
Help to mom, a great company to sisters, extremely capable.
Topper in school, loved by all, he was just so amiable.

Yes, both grew together.
One believed in hard work, another preferred leisure.

JUXTAPOSITION OF HARDWORK DURING ADULT HOOD

With freedom comes responsibility.
It’s not only about us but our family’s and parent’s dignity.
Hard work during childhood decides our ability.
Yes, our capabilities and the possibilities
In a way our acceptability and applicability.

Krishnang, goes for holidaying across nations.
Veerang is still striving to boil the ocean
What an irony, hardwork now is a compulsion.

Juxtaposition

I Celebration in the Year 2000

Cultures combine with cornucopia chalices
Spinning with starry spices steaming dreams
All together with pollination of feather flowers
Flowing with global glowing hope harvests
We capture watercolor waterfalls words
From freedom chests echoing expressions
With experiences exalting joyful gemstones
Teaching circulation of time's dancing chapters
We interlock internally with orchestra grace
Where world's writers inscribe soul scrolls

II Desolation in the Year 2001

Insane airplanes fire and flame wanton wars
From unknown blistering hate death's fate
Buildings burn with smoky skeletons
Tomb's teeth bleed scythe seeds upon
aghast eyesight halting worldwide scarred souls
Ghosts of time's crimson crimes question peace
From horror history halls that crumble with calls
Ringing culture's forever communication chairs
Within time's decorative trusting chambers only
exist with sweating escorts to eagle engine exits

Premium Member Desiderata In Juxtaposition

Younger, brighter, and more luminous
Than before, in an evolutionary process of happiness
Knowing you, communicating with you
Just being there

Paradoxical life holds many juxtaposed nuances
Whereby the truth rests in between the parallel
Waves that flow out from the organic forms
Of human dance

Just knowing you in time and space
Heals the pain that intertwined with
The pleasurable waves 

When I dreamed of the future that would come
I hoped you would have lit the candle
By the time two chords would have been wound up
Into one colorful, twisting rope
On the day of our reunion

Desiderata, with her nuances,
Will have represented those desires that we all have,
Those of the wisely chosen love pangs,
Those of the spiritual chords that intertwine
Across space and time

Bunnies on green lawns
Empty bench awaits returns
Faded tire tracks......

Juxtaposition of Me and the Willow Tree

Like the willow tree,
I'm of narrow, slender twigs.
                    Thin and sad- we are.

The Juxtaposition of a Mending Heart Against a Sadder Time

if anyone were to ask
was there a time
when the black umbrellas
folded
and the reign ended;
the crows again flew, stark
against the Summer sun;
the scent of roses threw
their stain along the tendrils
of the wind;
and the quiet of a day
no longer stretched itself,
yawning like a wound -
if anyone were to ask
when was the moment
that gave beat to the measure;
what drove
the cloud from the lining;
which dog ate the marrow,
warm and quivering, from
the heart of the bone;
how gracefully the slumbering giant
rolled away from the dew
of morning -
if anyone were to ask
what changed it all
my response would be
it happened as he
listened to the unspoken;
honored an unshed tear;
gave loft to the gauze
of an airless dream;
held an empty hand until
it grasped everything -
if anyone were to ask
I’d have to say
these things became
fluid
as effortlessly
and unremarked
as the wink of an eye
that is
the color of the Aegean Sea

Juxtaposition

Joined as husband and wife
Jealous for protection
Just loving each other
Joyful, always knowing
Journeys apart are safe
Juxtaposed, they shine as
Jewels set in pure gold

darkening meadows 
conjure parallel stages- 
lawn chairs on damp grass 
fireflies skittishly eyeing 
the flitting lights of smart phones

Juxtaposition

Meeting you, Baby, began pain's departure.
Changing each raindrop to kisses and sunshine. 
Can you hear my heart beat each time you are near me?
Can you feel our rhythm in sweet modulation?
Yeah!  Seeing you, Baby, sends my spirit high-rising.
Fills up my daydreams with sweetness enchanting.

Refrain:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ... Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
I can feel me changing, my life rearranging. 
I love this transition, you juxtaposition!
Life is a passage; so let's go to heaven.
You and me, Baby, forever and ever.
Ah, ah!  Ah, ah!  Oh, yeah.  Oh, yeah.

I love this transition, you juxtaposition!
Living out daydreams with you is exciting.
Dark clouds lost, forever sending sunshine in rain,
Enchanting me, Baby, I feel your love so fine.
Can you feel my heart beat each time you embrace me?
Can you feel our rhythm in sweet modulation?

Refrain:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ... Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
I can feel me changing, my life rearranging. 
I love this transition, you juxtaposition!
Life is a passage; so let's go to heaven.
You and me, Baby, forever and ever.
Ah, ah!  Ah, ah!  Oh, yeah.  Oh, yeah.

Loving you, Baby, dark clouds gone, forever
Changing each sorrow to kisses with your flame. 
I can feel your heart beat when you embrace me?
I can feel your rhythm when we are juxtaposition!
Loving you, Baby, sends my soul to the sky.
Reality knows that for you I would die.

Refrain:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ... Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
I can feel me changing, my life rearranging. 
I love this transition, you juxtaposition!
Life is a passage; so let's go to heaven.
You and me, Baby, forever and ever.
Ah, ah!  Ah, ah!  Oh, yeah.  Oh, yeah.

Repeat Refrain
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ... Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
I can feel me changing, my life rearranging. 
I love this transition, you juxtaposition!
Life is a passage; so let's go to heaven.
You and me, Baby, forever and ever.
Ah, ah!  Ah, ah!  Oh, yeah.  Oh, yeah.

Premium Member My Complicated Life-Juxtaposition

Down through the years of my complicated 
life, I have been a Weakling. But I have 
also been a strong warrior displaying much 
Strength.

I have experienced Love, but I have taken
a roll in the hay with Hate also.
I have prepared food for my Friends,yet I
I have eaten food at my Enemy’s table.


My family has never got me, nor understood
me. They made me feel like an Ugly Duck-
ling. But they also made me feel like a Beauti-
ful Swan as well. That alone, was very confusing 
to a child. I guess you can say we had a Love-
Hate relationship.

 

My relationships with the opposite gender 
were interesting too. They would often 
Break my heart, then Mend It and put my 
heart back together again.I felt like Humpty 
Dumpty.


Everything I've been through in life, Big
or Small made me the person I am today.

Sometimes I am Happy, and I'm Sad too,
but that's me.
Accept me, or reject me, that my friend is
up to you.

Emotional Juxtaposition

When life's hard and there's no easy way out,
When emotions war, yet the world's at peace,
When you're sure that others around you doubt,
When tears increase and joys simply decrease,

When people laugh and you just seem to cry,
When in life's smooth race, rough hurdles you face,
When every dream becomes nightmarish sigh,
When sad rejections you gladly embrace,

Remember inexperience matures,
And sorrows fade for the one who endures.

I have walked
where sun shines brightly,
where red sunset
warms the evening shade;
where the memory of day
lingers lightly,
through the night
till dawn
gleams the ocean spray-

sand beneath my feet
with the out-going tide
slithers coolly
sinks me,
winding coils
around my toes-

Surrealistic impulses
create songs impositions
upon the sphere of
evening coincidences
that beckon truth
beyond the scope
of reality as
you finally realize 
that to some
it's just a problem
upon their realm
of personal satisfaction
Inter-relationships surface
amidst the turmoils
of daily excursions
siphoned through kaleidoscopic
determinations that have
no basis in justice
but are constructed
amidst contemporary delineations
that stifle happiness
