Shield of Captain America

A classic metal made of vibranium steel alloy, An offensive and defensive weapon that could decoy; Though an illusory creation of comical books, Had become part of culture with pretty attention-hooks...! A concave disc; thick in diameter; weighing twelve pound; Designed and cast by Myron MacLain with caution profound; Captain America enjoyed its glamour in his acts; And showcased through it exceptional emblematic facts...! Embodied with strength that could alter the physical laws, Bouncy in nature; quite conforming to the user's cause; Power-equipped to face even dynamic storm-troopers, Hulk's fists or Thor's hammer couldn't harm it; or hard coopers...! In using the captain's shield Sam Wilson could not succeed, It boomeranged; came back to captain; curb did not exceed; Almost forty four miles per hour speed captain could throw it, No one could comprehend its curve or shift or harming grit...! Confrontations mounted; war-like situations arose; Fight with Thanos did the damage; captain couldn't oppose; Thanos' power with his sharp double-edged sword broke the shield; Like Samson's fall after shave, captain had to leave the field...! Yet, did captain give up his fights ever in whole of life? His shield had brought him fame; did he ever leave his life-strife? He traveled towards his greatest goal of eternity, For a shield that couldn't be found midst taciturnity...! 06 July 2022 Captain America's Shield Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
