Personality Yin and Yang
That's me and you, bro', complimentary opposites!23 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This four-line antonym poem, Personality Yin and Yang, finds a polar reflection for pizazz and indifference. That doesn't seem like a straight forward opposite, but can likely be reached.

Comment from Robbie Yates
Ah - great antonym poem! I enjoy the way you contrasted the two - with the middle lines of your stanza comparing the effects of "pizzazz" on different people. Good job!

Thank you so very much for your review, Robbie -- I truly appreciate your taking the time to review my work! :) :) Being the nerd that I am, I kinda tend to have whispers of mathematics in my writing -- the definition of a "complement" is that which is necessary to add to something to make it "whole" or a set "complete". So although the poem was to be antonyms, I chose the yin/yang symbol.....can't know pizzazz if you didn't know indifference and you certainly don't know indifference if you don't know pizzazz -- lol!!! Kinda goes for all the antonyms....yeah, I freely admit it, I am a nerd. :) :) Thanx for listening to my ramblings today and thanx for those lovely stars! :) :) Have a wonderful remainder of the week! :)
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image and presentation.
-Good choice of antonyms.
-I like how you presented your
ideas for each.
-I like the emphasis on being vibrant,
and how those who are indifferent
are blinded by the vibrancy.
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yes, that's very true, Anonymous Poet.
Each poet, painter, author or sculptor should be free to express themselves as they see fit, without bigotry or bias being thrown into the mix.
Just as every single discerning reader should be able to shun or avoid the types of writing, artwork, novels and sculpture they choose to ignore.
There's a big, wide wonderful world out there that is home to vast diverse groups of people with different likes and dislikes.
They should all be considered, not just some.
Some like seafood, others do not.
Some like the writing they choose to read rife with flair and charisma while others do not.
I say to each their own--live and let live.

Comment from Air Spirit
Excellent short poem --- I love the opening "pizzaz..." that is a jump starter, if ever I heard one! :) Due to the limitations on the format, I think you did an outstanding job at making a coherent and lucid presentation, showing both sides of the same coin -- I interpreted it to be showing us how opposites of one another are actually closely related -- how one side of a personality can reflect "pizzaz" - but, like the toss of a coin, the other side reveals its polar opposite -- I can certainly relate, and think this is a great metaphor showing the complexity of human character... Excellent job!

Guess this means opposites do get along and become best buds.not much on the meaning of yin and yang guess I am behind the times or something of the such.

even though your poem is in an antonym contest, you do let on that you understand that Yin is compliment to Yang. balance not opposition, I won't tell..

As pizzazz is to indifference, yin is to yang....dedicated to my brother and myself....the words are opposites, but we compliment each other. :) :) :) :) :) Thank you for your review and have a wonderful week!

This is a good entry for the Antonym Poetry writing prompt. Your choice of Pizzaz was excellent and was captured neatly at the beginning and flowed through to the end to make an excellent point. Well done on this verse. Good luck in the contest.
