Murdering Superman

Rescue me, superman Can it be you, I see Or is the bird not for me? You scooped me up Into the heavens of the sea Then alone I was in the dim alley Is the moon forever so washed-out? Or does this bird’s ex-ray? Take the moon into daze The laughs are heeding from near Perhaps, the joker… Or is it just the cape, as the choker? I left you vulnerable At the crook of your cage And just you blubber, in such riddle rage Now superman’s dead As disastrously, for good Maybe, my bird, afterall; is Robin Hood

This is nice and also sad. I loved Steve Reeves in his Superman role. We are all so vulnerable in life. I like the way you worked some remaining heroes into this poem. Very nice. Lovingly, The Dudette, Dane Ann. (Dane is after my grandmother who was named after her father... Smiles! I get a lot of men's mail, too- unwanted stuff- And I was EVEN DRAFTED INTO THE US ARMY BACK IN THE DAY!!! Women were not drafted, then. I had fun showing up with my draft notice. All smiles.) Take care, Dane
