NOTE: In response to Allan and my challege /pip/Forum45/HTML/000961.html   Sorry for all the posts.. and sonnets, please forgive me!

Sonnet VIII – Entrance of Love

Knock, knock, upon my precious dungeon door,
An amplified voice instigates a thought.
The hand attacks the twelfth hour once more,
I arouse to see what this ruckus brought.
A man in black velvet robes lifts above,
Asking what I would do if faced abrupt.
“For Chaos, Logic, Faith, Virtue or Love?
And I am sorry If I’ve interrupt.”
Love encircles life, it enlightens me.
Rest assured that I’ll choose it over all!
It fills my heart, like rivers to the sea,
And also, it will never let me fall.
So as I step on through my loving door,
I leave the rest to rot upon my floor.

Excellent! Woo hoo!
So the Sonnet king chooses Love above all!
Very nice. I like how you summarized all the choices in one line. Gave a neat impact, and magnified the importance of your choice.
Very well done, Jesper!

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

Good job of conquering this challenge, it's a good sonnet And about your Critique message, Jeremy wears dirty diapers

Don't mind me, I'd just like to tell Dopey chaos is my choice.

Totally amazing comes to my mind when describing this poem. One of the most interesting sonnets I've ever read. You seem to know how to write perfectly in a poem, which is a rareity.
