Oh, Please Dare

10~14~2016                     Oh, Yes Please Dare

Trust in love and just let go…
I will show you a view through a rainbow.

Yay!  You took a chance and let go of the reins.
You are a rare soul and a treasure to behold.
A human still brave enough to risk others’ disdain.
You made a choice to accompany me, so bold.
For there is no excitement or joy without risk of pain.
You may see sights which support your wildest dreams I’m told.

                                       one who has not failed
                                      not willing to take a risk
                                     may live to a ripe old age
                                        so safe yet mundane
                                    what drags they bore me so
                                  dare to see through a rainbow

Andrea Dietrich February 16, 2017 at 7:38 PM I really like this, Jill. Choosing a dare over the mundane. Wish I had more courage to do that in my life sometimes!! Jill Spagnola February 22, 2017 at 6:47 AM I am pretty sure you have made many a courageos decision or action in your life Andrea..if you are anything like me than it's the many poor life choices, mistakes that come to mind more often then the positive lol :),,,jill

Maurice Rigoler February 16, 2017 at 9:10 AM Love poses many risks along with pains. I can vouch for that, so your poem hit home at once. BTW, it's "reins" not "reigns." These two homonyms are easily confused. Many thanks for the stop by and best wishes in your writing endeavors./ M Jill Spagnola February 22, 2017 at 6:42 AM Thank you for your kind words and catching my mistake :)....jill

Robert Lindley October 20, 2016 at 2:24 PM Had I not taken a great chance, I'd not be happily married to a beautiful wife and have our wonderful and handsome son. I've never written in this poetry form but as a poet I can see that this is truly exceptional poetry. You've inspired me to maybe write in this form some future day! ADDING THIS GEM TO MY FAV LIST Jill Spagnola October 27, 2016 at 9:08 PM As kind as ever Robert!! I'll bet your beautiful family is so stoked that you took that chance as well:) I enjoyed learning more of your depth as a man and a poet from Arthur's blog. He could not have spotlighted a better artist...The few (thousands :)0f artistists that get you, really dig your deep, masterfull writes, your classical forms always perfection!! perfection!!!! my love to you and yours, jill
