Odin
I have discovered an Odin. An Odin is a cool name for Inspiration. Technically, Odin means Divine Creative Inspiration. Well, this Odin that I found led me to write this poem:

The Knight and the Damsel
Though the night was rough and the air was cool, the Knight rode swifter still.
For his bride-to-be was awaiting him to come and whisk her away.
He rode in silence against the wind as it howled with a ghastly feel,
He must not fail, he has to prevail! For the damsel, she awaiteth.
In a far off cave she longs for him while the dragon curls around
His treasure higher than the skies, his scales shine even brighter.
The Knight rides long through the chilly night as his horse begins to tire
He arrives at the mouth of the monstrous cavern in which the maiden waits
He races in determined to win the hand of this fair, young love,
But the scaly beast won't give his feast up without a fight.
The dragon pulls his claws out from under and shows them to the Knight
But he is not afraid, for he has a sharp blade that he will drive right through the heart.
The fight is dangerous; the dragon sighs as at last he is overcome,
The damsel cheers, when the Knight comes near to take his love safely away.
