1. Sunrise or Sunset?

2. Clouds or Stars?

4. River or Ocean?

5. Make Love or Have Sex?

6. Love and Lose or Never Know Love?

7. Cry for Someone or Be Cried Over?

8. Be Loved or Love Someone else?

9. Die for Someone or Have Someone Die for You?

10. Beat or Be Beaten?

*None of this "neither" crap... you MUST pick one and explain your answer, otherwise dont bother answering ;)

1. Sunrise or Sunset?

Sunset... because... umm its when the world is going to sleep and everything is resting.

2. Clouds or Stars?

Stars.. because they're all twinkley

3. Dusk or Dawn?

Dusk.. because the word looks nicer

4. River or Ocean?

River... because its not all salty and its fresher and is nicer to drink.

5. Make Love or Have Sex?

Make love because... if you fuck someone then you leave them feeling fucked up. If you make love to someone you leave them feeling loved. A quote from some book but yeh.

6. Love and Lose or Never Know Love?

Love and lose, at least you have felt the happiness of it.

7. Cry for Someone or Be Cried Over?

Cry for someone, then you don't feel guility, which could make you cry.

8. Be Loved or Love Someone else?

Both :D Feeling loved is a wonderful feeling but if you don't feel loved back it can make bad feelings present. So I dunno about this one!

9. Die for Someone or Have Someone Die for You?

Die for someone, then you don't have to go through all the pain.

10. Beat or Be Beaten?

Beat, never give up.

Sunset- it reminds me of my times on the beach watching this gaint orange ball sink into the deep blue water

Stars- where i live its hard to see the stars and i feel a lot of people take the stars for granted

No opinion on this one

Ocean- in my life time i have seen rivers dry up and die like the majority of people i once lost, but the ocean is a never ending thing of life and love

Make love- i can have sex with a lot of girls around here but there are few in the world i can make love to

Hmmm.... i know a lot of guys say this but i have not cried in almost 10 years, but i would say cry for someone, i hate to see those i love in pain.

Both- i want the person i love to love me in return

Die for someone- i couldn't live with that on my concious

Both- i was beaten by my grandfather from the ages 5 till 16 so he could make me a solider, and i am still being beating by life at every little turn.

This are my answers : but dont feel sorry for me because there are far more people that have it worse than me, people dieing because they have no food no way to feed there children, well that was depression glad i answered that

JPM: I slightly disagree, firstly this is in the "other," section, not the "poetry discussion," section, and secondly, these excercizes can be inspiring and make you think, I could easily imagine a poem spawning from this.

1.Sunrise - Im a morning person and find it the most refreshing and beautiful time of the day - the earlier the better
2. Stars - The more chances I have of my wishes coming true the better! Such pretty and delicate little twinkles
3.Dawn - See my first answer :o)
4.Ocean - Such a power contained, love the beach such great memories there both growing up and with my own family
5. Sex - Sex is just that sex, no emotional attachment and a great orgasm. Making love is amazing don't get me wrong but Im not as quick to forget the heartache, pain and tears that come with love - nothing is for free
6. Love and Lose - Love is life and life is love, what is an existance without love - to me no existance at all
7.Be cried over - Damn it Im sick and tired of crying for others and over others
8.Be loved - Im actuallyinterstate visiting my partner for the next few weeks, love having all my boys together...I wouldn't trade anything for the way it feels for me inside knowing that I am loved by him...
9.Die for Someone - The ultimate sacrifice, I couldn't live on if someone died for me - I would much rather continue to be the martyr Im known to be :o)
10. Beat - Is that really a question? LoL In my mind there is only one answer Kaitlin

7. cry for someone, being cried over can hurt worse

8. ahh....uhhh... love someone else. it feels like it is more of a personal thing, but when someone loves you and you can't reciprocate, then you feel helpless and frusterated...more so than if you love someone else.

9. die for someone, definitely.

Ocean. It's just such a broader word, it gives me a more adventerous, happy feel.

Sunset... I'm in a sunset mood.
Stars... I cannot imagine a night sky without them.
Dawn... I have a sunset already.
River... I love rivers.
Make Love (then have sex)... It means more to me and can be just as fun (if not more) as normal sex.
Love and lose... Been there done that.
Cry for someone... Been there too.
Love someone else... much more fun for me.
Die for someone... nearly been there.
Beat... Alpha male syndrome.

Sunrise...it's pretty and it's more romantic, in my opinion.

Stars...because...you can wish upon them, and I feel closer to Heaven?

Dawn, because I liek morning more than night or afternoon...

River because it's not as big and usualy more clean and peaceful.

Make love...sounds more polite.

Love and lose..."I'd rather live with cuts of love then live without any scars"

Cry for someone...no one should cry for me...

Love someone else...that's usually how it goes anyways.

Die for someone...waste of life to die over me.

Be beaten...no one should be beaten...I don't mind if I am...as long as that means someone else isn't.

Yup...
