SHS Prom

I know that this is a couple of months late, but here's about Prom. I asked Jessica Chee using quatrains written in iambic pentameter. I gave one to her every period. Here they are:

#1
When thought is brought upon my earnest mind
To take a chance to dance with her, that girl,
My heart doth pound. This girl, so rare a find,
Arrests my heart and puts my mind in whirl.

#2
‘Tis Prom, the night where dreams take course and live.
How luck has found me in my turn! Awake!
This dream, however wished, has yet to give.
For time draws near to ask. Fresh courage take!

#3
In fear I look appalled upon my face,
Its ugliness diminishes my hope.
How can I ask a goddess of my race
And in return expect but uttered, “Nope!”?

#4
Shrewd Shakespeare’s lark saved him from all despair.
Keen Spenser’s hope, renewed by pausing deer.
How will the girl that God has made so fair
Treat my ardent endeavor? ‘Tis my fear.



#5
Today she cast her matchless eyes my way.
How lost became I in that piercing sea.
And yet in them I found a subtle ray
That made the faintness in my shy heart flee.

#6
The time has come to take the plunge. I gasp
As frigid waters hit. Jessica Chee,
Please carefully consider this. I ask:
Oh Belle, will you please go to Prom with me?

So she said yes, luckily, despite my desperate pleadings. The date was probably the most fun date I've ever been on. We had a war with nerf guns, rode horses and just played and had fun. Here are some pictures of us at dinner, right before the dance. Enjoy.
