Arkham Asylum

Founded by Amadeus Arkham for his dearest mother, Whose illness, like Schizophrenia, brain sphere did smother; An imaginary psychiatric clinic unique, Curing cursed criminals, of their psyche and physique...! An asylum suffused with history and mystery, Though in hearts and minds aversely abhorrent blistery; A ride was on, history says, to bring it to the ground, Its demolition later, plot realization found...! Midst this, like caffeine in coffee so delicately mixed, Brainy Batman’s miraculous movements that minds transfixed; Confronting his arch nemesis, the petty crook, Joker, With his strength and warfare skills as a terror provoker...! He could stride, glide, ski, drive and dive around the asylum, Like a satellite, analyzing each little phylum; Crawling, crawling, calling, cajoling, capturing cases, He could complete his mission by corroding cache traces...! Attacks of opponents, like boomerangs, redirected, Deadly defenses detected, dissected, and dejected; Midst grim strange state of affairs, like a silent bomb he blasts, Uprooting evils, like banyan trees, he forever outlasts...! Arkham Asylum, ultimately, a tale fantastic, Dashing, dazzling, daring, dare-devil, delightful, drastic; Bends, mends, comprehends, apprehends, comprehends, countertrends, With an amusing and appealing twist and turn contents...!!! 18 December 2022 Arkham Asylum Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
