An Ode, Verses Born From a Friendly Dare

An Ode, Verses Born From A Friendly Dare To write an ode, to a spirited gal One that no dream even dares to surpass To a ravishing beauty my good pal As a gift to celebrate her sharp sass. Nay, such enchanting a task tis overdue. Dare I, to one in dreams only, I knew. Rather I, jot down verses that soft sing Of her beauty, she a most lively lass And the radiance her glow often brings Her elegant voice, words said never crass. Nay, such enchanting task tis overdue. Dare I, to one in dreams only, I knew. When dawn's fantastic smile her eyes so shines I dare, boast of kisses given in mass Creative words and such heart I opine Chance for another kiss, I dare not pass. Nay, such enchanting a task tis overdue. Dare I, to one in dreams only, I knew. Robert J. Lindley, 1-10-2022 Ode, ( On a dare, muse, pen and paper summoned up this ) Note: * -- sass sass /sas/ Learn to pronounce INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN noun impudence; cheek. "the kind of girl that wouldn't give you any sass" verb be cheeky or rude to (someone). "we wouldn't have dreamed of sassing our parents"

Thank you, my friend. So very good to hear from you. This one came about on a dare. I slammed it out in one flow as quick as eating a delicious hotdog. lol She told me, that I could have done better. And well, when truth is spoke who am I to deny it? God bless..

I reckon your use of sass here superb and lent an air of fun to this piece. What a pleasure to read.

Thank you my friend, and right you are! The use of the word sass was thought of as theme setting air of fun and jovialty, not only in the composing but as well in the lady my heart and mind so very fondly remembered from my wild days of my wayward and energetic youth. God bless..

I did so want to name my dear poet friend that made the dare, but she asked me not to do so. However, it was indeed a gift to me as it stirred my muse to wake, chastize me a bit and even give me a few verses to get started. Truth is, she is too oft a very stubborn ally(speaking of the muse ). And even quite a bit lazy more often than not...
