Deviants and Divine

“I hold a delightful being and an undesirable being inside of me. 
                             It’s up to you which one you meet”
                                                                                 ~~The Poet~~ 

dismally destructive
yet charmingly creative

unabatedly chaotic 
obligatorily perfection

unsophisticatedly naïve
graciously worldly wise

uncouth and ill-mannered
poised etiquette

audaciously rude
enticingly eloquent

unsuitably slovenly
exactingly efficient

decked in Shabby attire
styled with cultured couture

disheveled, dingy
polished, well-groomed

in company of many in ill-repute
thoroughbred acquaintances

robotically draconian
artistically graceful

An interesting take on the contest and I like how you formatted it... You have showcased the level of your vocabulary here perfectly... I could see the different personality theme throughout switching from deviant and divine... Congratulations on your placement in the contest...
