Well hey everyone. I asked Jeremy an interesting question that I have been using as topic for discussion with a few friends, and he said "hey Allan, you amazing genius you, why not take some time out of your schedule of incredible writing and take your marvelous question to Passions as a challenge to the Teen #4 people? Perhaps they can write some sort of a poem in a feeble attempt to reach your ever-transcendant writing skills?" Well Jeremy is a pretty smart guy, so I said sure, why not? Here's a cute challenge to all of you. The situation is as follows-- You are in a trap dungeon with only five doors out. Four of the doors lead to certain death, the other one to freedom. The doors are marked "Love," "Virtue," "Logic," "Faith," and "Chaos." Which door do you walk through? Well which door, and why? Write a poem about your decision... sounds interesting? Yes, it is!  I'm anxious to see what we come up with. Here's mine. "Logic" (tanka) feeble human feet tread on rationality firmly underfoot love and hatred lead you here emotion cannot save you So yours doesn't have to be Tanka. Just have fun with it, do whatever format you like. Maybe even include some sort of symbolic fruit? *looks at Dopey*  Best of luck to everyone. Thanks for reading the whole thing.  ~Allan Oh and I'd rather you ~NOT~ discuss your answers in this string. That might influence someone's decision prematurely. Just write us a nice poem. Stupidity makes the world go around...and people like us laugh. ~~Elizabeth, to Allan [This message has been edited by Allan Riverwood (edited 03-08-2001).] |

I know my choice and I may/might/possibly could write a poem for it. If you're nice, I will consider it "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle" "Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it." BothUnknown |

I think Dopey wouldn't add a fruit, but most possibly, he'd have coke in there somewhere "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S. |

Hmmm...this is a lil too profound and deep for me today...2 hours of sleep + teaching 30 hyper 4-yr olds does not = philosophical mood. But I will ponder this. Interesting question...where did you come up with this??? "There is only one rain cloud in the sky, and it's raining on me. Somehow I'm not surprised." "Make your life like toilet paper - long and useful." |
