An oxymoron is basically a self contradictory phrase, for example:

Oxymoron: That painting was pretty ugly. Pretty ugly is an oxymoron pairing of words because they mean the exact opposite meaning but can be used together.

Answer 4

When considering the meaning of a phrase, look at the meaning of each word.
Poetry is a particular type of writing that expresses feelings or mood, using rhythm and often (but not always) using rhyme. Poetry often uses a variety of figures of speech.

An oxymoron is a a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms (words) appear in conjunction, meaning as a phrase with the 2 words alongside each other, (e.g., "faith unfaithful kept him falsely true").

So a poetic oxymoron is an oxymoron that combines the qualities of rhythm or rhyme that makes the oxymoron poetic, mesmerizing, tilting, uplifting, or evokes emotion.

Answer 5

One example of a poem that contains oxymorons is "Sweet Sorrow" by William Shakespeare. In this poem, Shakespeare uses the oxymoron "sweet sorrow" to convey the bittersweet nature of saying goodbye.
