Terry Flood Poet Acrostic

Language, Robin

[Warning - This Acrostic may contain profanity…
I have checked and I couldn’t find any, but, well
something’s just kinda niggling me… honest guv]


Heroes of the ‘super’ variety
Often disguised from polite society
Lovers, fighters, angry blighters
Yesterday’s pilots, freedom fighters

Feline-like women that purr just like cats
Under the radar they fight beside bats
Counting on suits that’s are mostly machine
Kicking ass when you are huge… and you’re green
Ice maidens freezing, their foe to confound
Nothing’s too weird when there’s heroes around
Godzilla it seems is no more wanted dead

Superman flies like a bird, it is said
Hawkeye with arrows will make villains quiver
Iron man trusts that his suit will deliver
The thing is the thing, and he’s always a rock

Batman gives Joker and Riddler a shock
Antman is simply the size of a speck 
Truth is, that none of them even say ‘heck’
Most kids have tablets at which they will stare
And that’s why young kids, anytime, anywhere
Never not ever, shall hear heroes swear


[Oops! Don’t look down.]

Tom Cunningham January 3, 2022 at 12:46 AM Lol, the soup police must have been partying Terry. Hope your new year is off to a flying start. Tom Terry Flood January 3, 2022 at 3:16 AM Thanks, Tom. Welcome back. New year quiet so far… just the way I like it. I’m guessing you’ve been away or had company… hope you enjoyed. Terry

Joseph P. DiMino January 2, 2022 at 9:27 AM I think it is perfect, Terry. Great read to start the New Year. Delightful! Joe. Terry Flood January 2, 2022 at 11:07 AM Thanks, Joe. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Ilene Bauer January 1, 2022 at 2:21 PM i applaud your ingenuity, terry! you are so funny and so clever - this one deserves a medal... Terry Flood January 1, 2022 at 3:29 PM I know this was a bit naughty and a bit of a risk, but it tickled me to the point I had to cross my fingers and share it. We used to have a sitcom in the UK, called ‘Sorry’, in which a bossy mother would constantly berate her ‘still at home’ son with the words, ‘Language Timothy.’ Hence the title. Glad you enjoyed. Shame that new year absences means it passed unnoticed by many, but maybe that also means the mods didn’t spot it. PHEW!. ;-) Terry

P.S. Awtry December 31, 2021 at 6:42 PM Lol! Terry you are too funny for your own good! Terry Flood January 1, 2022 at 12:45 AM I know I risk the wrath of the mods with this one… but I deliberately didn’t bold my leading letters because that might have been a step too close to the edge. Thanks P.S. Terry
