Hey, the 5 door question, choose between logic, love, virtue, morals, and chaos. I'm a very...erradic person, here's my answer...


Chaos
Brings order to the confusion
Confusion
Molds chaos into strength

Chaos
Keeping my life aligned
Alignment
Telling me what to do

Chaos
Without it life is boredom
Boredom
Forged by the refuse

Chaos makes me consistently happy
These eyes can never close
And when it slows, gets all sappy
I enjoy all of its throes

Chaos makes life a myriad of schemes
Always changing size and shape
Patterns are forgotten between the seems
Never will there be, a hole agape

Without chaos’s love
Slapping you with a glove
Then your moral thought
Would NEVER get stretched taught

Chaos is a virtue
It can never hurt you
Logic can always fail
Chaos always prevails

I guess somebody did choose chaos....i was wrong.
Anyway I thought you did AMAZING!!! Great job on this one.......I thought you described it wonderfully....plus I liked how you just took all the other choices and basically pointed out why you didn't chose them. Nicely done.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Heh, well actually, I was avoiding telling specifically why I didn't chose the others. My specific example is actually a whole nother poem, but I don't know if I'm going to write it.

I don't see why chaos is such an uncommon choice. All the other 4 are part of chaos. The other 4 all form into lif,e which is only a series of chaotic situations. I told this to Allan kinda. The poet, would usually choose love, because it serves him (or her) best. The thinker would choose logic, because it suits him better. The blue collar would chose morals, or faith, because it's far more practical. And the warrior would choose virtue, becuase it's more agressive.
I chose chaos, simply because it's synonymous with life.

I absolutely loved this. It is heading into the library.

Chaos was just the perfect door for this challenge and you wrote about it so well! It's a different format to write and it turned out wonderful.

Keep it up.
