Wham! There's Batman with Robin in tow, Fighting crime, delivering a blow That knocks those villains aside, In my mind, in that strange place I abide. Pow! Holy misery-in-reality Batman! I look outside and create a daring plan To escape these stupid padded walls, I can break free, I must you see, as a heroes duty calls... Whack! Stacks of dirty comic books are piling, I see those villains grinning and smiling Through the window at my life of cartoon, To break free right now is far too soon... Slam! I have to wait for the moment to strike, To break my shackles, to fly and to fight Like a hero, to foil those dastardly, villainous grins But is it true...that a hero...just like me...always wins?

Interesting... it was strange, but I liked it. So I'm assuming this is someone who believes themselves to be the superheroes that he/she reads about in the comic books. Good job =] + Report this comment Posted by Kasi elaborated 2008-07-16 13:31:13 .... Very interesting... It would have read more like a comic book if you were able to add pictures of the "Wham, Pow!" someone catching an upercut or something. I liked it, out of the norm for a poem. + Report this comment Posted by indianaman130 2008-07-16 15:50:56 .... I love the fact its an "out of the norm for a poem." I don't think there are normal people, nor do i believe in normal poems. I flowed, it was well thought out, it had meaning, and the ending was great. + Report this comment Posted by CDeCarlo 2008-07-17 08:36:28 .... It's not a typical poem. I like how it's upbeat because a lot of people think poetry is all sad and depressing. I like the onomonopeia you used with the sound effects. I like it. + Report this comment Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-07-17 17:38:27 .... good description a nutjob and what goes on in his head + Report this comment Posted by Something Indecent 2008-07-17 19:14:55 .... Very creative and upbeat! I really liked it. It is nice to read a poem that delves into lighter territory. Great job on this. I loved the fact that he was in an asylum. Good for him. + Report this comment Posted by colemoriss 2008-07-17 21:37:07 .... i thought it was good. i liked it immensely. i like how at the end it calls into question the whole good always wins thing. i wish that were the case, but, good does not always win. + Report this comment Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-20 23:43:02 .... This is superb. This is a charming piece of writing that I have read in recent times. One must always strive to strike a chord in a reader’s heart. You have achieved it in great measure. Good job. Keep it up. ;-) + Report this comment Post a comment Post a comment
