Green Goblin

Green Goblin, Green Goblin, how terrible you are.
And only for a serum have you become a superstar.
A star of infamy and Spider-man’s worst foe,
spreading holy terror wherever that you go.

Aliases you have had, maybe up to five.
The third one, Dr. Bart, was not long alive.
As Norman, the original, you came back from the dead -
once again to fill our hero Spider-man with dread.

Norman’s son Harry used the serum too.
And Green Goblins many powers harry knew.
Superhuman strength and agility
and a genius too with regenerative ability.

Driven quite insane, you only wish to kill
and destroy all everywhere you’ve been.
“The five” incapacitated you, yet still
I bet we’ll be seeing you again and again.

The Green Goblin is my nickname. Given to me by the friends that I race with. You have done him justice with the narrative of his existence. Comics and graphic novels hold a strong place in my heart. They allowed me a world to escape to during some of the darkest parts of my life! Also they have provided some interesting Muse for my poetry. Perfectly written and well enjoyed! A.S.

Do you watch that stuff? i think I saw one Batman movie with my son when he was still young. I have no interest in superhero fantasies. Obviously you do. Well done, Andy. Sometimes you really surprise me.
