MY SUPERPOWERS

My powers have few limits.
My powers are no gimmick.
Three blinks, blinked fast,
Grants my powers most vast.
If my wish is to fly,
I can Peter Pan the sky.

Time is mine to travel,
Freeze, bend or unravel.
While invisible as breeze,
I watched Adam and Eve
Grapple over that apple
To end up forever baffled.

I can heal a hurt body,
Smooth what was rocky,
Stop looming travesty,
Derail would be calamity,
But for no one’s sake
Am I able to duplicate.

All evil that I can’t undo
Is because I am not two.
Much that’s brutal and cruel
Still dominates and rules,
Leaving me to feel inept
Despite my powers so adept.

Gosh, this had a lot of thought put into it. I loved the line about being there to see Adam and Eve while invisible. What a thrilling power that would be. And you left it on a very realistic note. Good luck in this contest. I used an oldie that was for a very similar contest a few years ago!

A great take on 'super powers', CayCay. And, even with these powers..."much that's brutal and cruel...still dominates and rules.." That's the sad part. Best wishes for the contest! 7 Hugs, Sandra

Creative poem, CayCay. That "Peter Pan the sky" bit was a wonderful (if not zany) expression ... Fun to read with a healthy dose of enthusiasm.
