Murdering Superman

Rescue me, superman
Can it be you, I see
Or is the bird not for me?

You scooped me up
Into the heavens of the sea
Then alone I was in the dim alley

Is the moon forever so washed-out?
Or does this bird’s ex-ray?
Take the moon into daze

The laughs are heeding from near
Perhaps, the joker…
Or is it just the cape, as the choker?

I left you vulnerable
At the crook of your cage
And just you blubber, in such riddle rage

Now superman’s dead
As disastrously, for good
Maybe, my bird, afterall; is Robin Hood

This is nice and also sad. I loved Steve Reeves in his Superman role. We are all so vulnerable in life. I like the way you worked some remaining heroes into this poem. Very nice. Lovingly, The Dudette, Dane Ann. (Dane is after my grandmother who was named after her father... Smiles! I get a lot of men's mail, too- unwanted stuff- And I was EVEN DRAFTED INTO THE US ARMY BACK IN THE DAY!!! Women were not drafted, then. I had fun showing up with my draft notice. All smiles.) Take care, Dane
