Terror has returned to the heart of Gotham City
Commissioner Gordon’s task sure isn’t pretty
Penguin, the Joker and Riddler are back on the scene
Stirring terror in our hearts, they sure are so mean
Wearing his mask and cape is our hero Bruce Wayne
With Batman around we hope peace will reign
Driving at the speed of light, you can hear the tyres squeal
When Batman is behind the wheel of the ‘Batmobile’
Batman doesn’t possess specific super powers
But he outwits the villains for many hours
Working together with is his faithful sidekick Robin
ZAP! KAPOW! Soon the villain’s heads are throbbing
Above the city buildings way up high
The Batman spotlight illuminates the sky
With the criminals locked up in jail, their job is done
They return to the ‘Batcave’ after a successful outcome

Great verse, a winner from where I'm sitting. You know when Bruce Wayne's mum used to shout him for lunch, she'd cry "BATMAAAAN- dinner dinner dinner dinner....." (sorry). Viv x

Thanks Paul - I worked on this poem for the past 2 days when I went to the Blues festival this weekend - I just hope Shadow likes it:-) I loved the original Batman TV series but am not really a fan of the more modern film versions - I dont think you get the impact of the ZAP KAPOW that we used to get on the TV lol:-) Hugs Jan xx

Great poem. I wouldn't expect any less from you. You are very talented. You write such a variety of different styles, emotions, situations and poetic rhyme/non rhyme schemes! It seems that you do it at the drop of a hat too!

Jan Allison
Date: 5/24/2015 3:39:00 PM

Thanks Anna - I have only been writing for 15 months - have learned so so much on my poetic and life journey - still learning something every day and I do have to work hard to get the poems I write to be fit for posting :-) Hugs Jan xx

Gosh darn this is good, and fits the comic heroes to a tee! Heroes are not just admired for their powers, but stand strong in our hearts for their humanity and strength of character as well. Emile. #7

Thanks Emile I think Batman is my favourite comic book hero. I prefer the TV series to the films- guess I am just getting old lol:-) Hugs Jan xx
