Notes About The Poem

 

For Robert James Liguori's "Fantastic Four" contest

______________________________________________________________________

Premiere Contest WinnerFour for the Fantastic Four

Dr. Reed Richards, known as Mr. Fantastic,
is a super-hero whose body is elastic.
Leader of the Fantastic Four clan,
a genius invincible is this man.

The Invisible Woman, AKA Susan Storm,
first female superhero, she also can perform
the bending of light waves; she projects fields of force.
She got married to Mr. Fantastic, of course!

Johnny Storm is known as the Human Torch.
If “Flame on” he cries, beware what he will scorch.
Much brasher is he than his sweet sister Susan.
Shooting fire, this superhero be cruisin’.

The Thing, AKA, the grumbling Ben Grimm,
sure has no need of a gym.
With skin like a rock, he’s got plenty of bulk
and is second in strength to the Hulk.
