Count( a challenge)
by: eddy styx
giving off 20 radiant smiles
laughing, on her bar stool
at her fancy country club,
still wet from a dip in the pool
15 days she has known
the new man, a mercurial stranger,
handsome and mysterious
with an aura of definite danger.
in 10 minutes they shall rendezvous
at his remote dark den,
charmed by his spell she notices not
they have traveled through the fen.
5 good reasons to stay on guard,
be aware of who is around
they may haunt or harm you
and run you to the ground.
#4 most obvious is a sex ploy
knock you off your pins
dazzling you with tricks in bed
and take you to task for your sins.
3 if you're really wealthy
a private eye should run a check
or you could find the lovely pearls
are missing from your neck.
2 if he is a dandy, fancy man
to the ladies he's not true
living a life, no wife?
he's single, from Kalamazoo!
you've got just one (1) life to live
so make it large and grand
a date with eddy styx
could mean bleeding out in the sand!

I love the eddy poems...
and that you rhyme
but I think you need a little work on the meter.
Giving off 10 radiant smiles - fixes the meter
Delete [hair], it still shows that she just came from the pool.
run you to [the] ground
[and take] you to task for your sins
Or you could find the lovely pearls are missing from your neck
He is a dandy, fancy man
to his ladies, he's not true
living another life, no wife?
he's single from Kalamazoo!
a date with eddy styx
could mean bleeding out in the sand
Just trying to help the meter, and as always, yours to do with as you will.
