Premiere Contest WinnerFantastic 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'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.
