Contradictories
Author Unknown
Dark it was,
the moon shone brightly,
covered in snow the green road,
as a car drove by
fast as lighting,
slowly around the corner
Inside sat, standing people,
silently in a deep conversation,
as a shot-dead rabbit
ice-skated on the sandbank.
And on a red box,
which was painted blue,
sat a curly-blond boy with crow-coal, black hair.
From the rainy street the dust whirled up,
and during the heat,
a boy's ears froze greatly.
Two small fish ran cheerfully through the blue cornfield.
At last, the sun went down and the day became brighter.
