Fantastic Four

As dusk bleeds dimmed threads, that veil the sun within my mind, I listen to the whispers of the midnight wind, slowly carrying the chaos of city life, reminding me that in togetherness, I can rise and fight the darkness, like the Fantastic Four in the celestial chronicles of magnificent Marvel. For their strength in unity did cast away every obstacle wrapped in fictional lies. I wish I could be Susan Storm, in times of strife, to mesmerise and manipulate the rosiest of flames, where Johnny Storm shines and cosmically conquers adversaries with eloquence. Sometimes I long to be flexible like Reed Richards, stretching beyond oblivion and reaching spheres untouchable. Tonight, I wish I were Ben Grimm, facing every storm, being virtually indestructible and heroical. Yet, to be a family of four, so fearless and strong, is but an eternal dream within my glass heart. So tomorrow, I shall rise and flip pages, where all worries of this world will be forgotten. My soul and spirit connected poetically to the fantastic four.

Oh it does recreate these characters for those who may be able to reconnect to heyday times. My parody was after my first admission, where I delineated the fact of being oblivious to any particular episode, let alone, anything that could be consider a FF4, hence the parody. Well, you were able to appease Robert, far, far, better than, I think, but you're the only one I've read. I think I'll stick to Goldilocks, an easy memorable classic. CHEERS to your righteous win, Ink Empress, Aloha, William

I love this poem. You've created the Four into something even more fantastic than before. The intrigueing line of wanting to be part of a family struck a note to my heart. I think we'd all like to have superpowers. This was a super poem.

Dear Ink, excellent dedication with a serious contemplative touch. Although this challenge required to write in a style that was completely unfamiliar to you, you did an outstanding job. Many people might identify with the final stanza: being engaged in a world of imaginative thinking. BOL with the contest

I love the introspective vibe to your ruminations about the fantastic four. I'm not familiar with them, but do understand the 'super hero' archetype. Perhaps we all need a super hero especially one of the poetic variety :-) I enjoyed the last verse especially....'connecting poetically to the fantastic four' Your unique poetic voice shines through...well done, Ink. Have a splendid evening, Sara

I've always wanted to be the Hulk.. Everyone wants to be some kind of superhero and how cool would it be to have all the fantastic fours powers.. Only you could write in this manner for this contest, which is far out of your comfort zone buy you have done it so well.. Best of luck in the contest.
