WHICH ARE YOU 3



 Are you the ADDICT,
Or the DRUG?
  Are you a HAND-SHAKE,
Or a HUG?

 Are you a BELIEVER,
Or a DOUBTER?
  Are you SPLIT PEA,
Or CLAM CHOWDER?
  
  Are you BI-SEXUAL,
Or BI-POLAR?
  Are you UNDER,
Or OVER?
 
  Are you CASUAL,
Or FORMAL?
  Are you WEIRD,
Or NORMAL?
  
  Are you the COP,
Or ROBBER?
  Are you at SEA,
Or the HARBOR?
 
  Are you a DESTROYER,
Or CREATOR?
  Are you NOW,
Or LATER?

  Are you a DONOR,
Or MURDER?
  Are you TOGETHER,
Or CONVERTER?

  Are you FIRE,
Or ICE?
  Are you PLAIN,
Or SPICE?

  Are you LONG,
Or SHORT?
  Are you SMOKE,
Or SNORT?
 
  Are you MODERN,
Or ANTIQUE?
  Are you PSYCHE,
Or PHYSIQUE?

  Are you the PLOT,
Or SCHEME?
  Are you the NIGHTMARE,
Or DREAM?

  Are you STAIRWAY to HEAVEN,
Or HIGHWAY to HELL?
  Are you the SECRET,
Or do you TELL?

  Are you SMELL,
Or SIGHT.
  Are you a COWARD,
Or the FIGHT?

  Are you a SMILE,
Or a FROWN?
  Are you a SKIRT,
Or the GOWN?

  Are you SUMMER,
Or WINTER?
  Are you OUTSIDE,
Or the CENTER?
  
  Are you the THOUGHT,
Or DEED?
  Are you the WANT,
Or NEED?

 Are you WHISKEY,
Or WINE?
  Are you LATE,
Or ON-TIME?

    This is quite good. One has to admire how clever the rhyme-scheme is.
    The poem has a good construction and every stanza is a pleasure to read for when they reveal.
    Well-done!
