Outstanding! Oh, I wish I had a 6 star rating I could give you, because you certainly deserve it... This is a magical, lyrical, humorous and entertaining poem... form is fantastic.. love the rhyme.. and despite the poem being lighthearted, it has a great deal of truth to it.. because as humans, I feel we are often a mass of contradictions... sometimes, we are more adept at refraining from displaying what an internal mess we are --- but sometimes, despite our best efforts, we show the world what a glorious, unpredictable, complicated, mess-merizing person that we really are!

Comment from rspoet
Sometimes reviews are icy hot
some think fewest words say the most
or at least pay the most
I knew a reviewer who was an oxymoron
but the oxy was stolen by a foxy
which left him just a moron
I love your poem and am sad to say
I'm out of sixes, there are no fixes
five will just have to do
Love it!

Comment from Henry King
This is an excellent way of entering the NaPoWriMo April Challenge contest. So, are you in or out? Decide win or lose, or not. It's your choice. I love oxymorons. I was one for several years, military intelligence. The rhyme and rhythm makes this poem very melodic. This poem was very well done.
About the rhyme. In the fourth line, first verse, a better rhyme would be, "Subdued, but not so tame."

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Cute image and good presentation.
-A really good poem, Christine, clever and
witty with great examples of being an oxymoron.
-You not only show the opposite traits in
a stanza, but in every line! That is impressive.
-Worthy of a 6 and a ð???

You are very welcome and deserving, Christine. I don't know how you are keeping up with a poem a day. This one was amazing. Good luck with the whole challenge.
Comment from A. Troutman
I love this. Great job. I love the rhyme scheme and vocabulary. The topic is very relatable. Feeling so smart and yet so ignorant is definitely something I relate to (And politely rude). Well done!

Comment from aryr
Oh my, I absolutely, loved the picture Christine it was perfect for the poem written. I think perhaps we all are to a certain degree. I loved the way you sort of bounced back and forth, which matched the words and the concept of the poem. It had a good rhyme pattern. Very well done, very enjoyable, it created smiles. Thanks for sharing.
