Notes About The Poem

Souper Man

Souper Man

Leaping big tall buildings
no matter day or night.
Faster than a speeding bullet
within the poems I write.

Fighting crime that goes unseen
unhappiness beware!
When you least expect me,
I'm already there!

Bringing healing in the wind
is how it all got started.
Helping those with tear filled eyes,
mending the brokenhearted.

No! I'm not the only one.
But I'm doing all I can.
You'll know me when you see me.
I am Souper Man!

Armed with pen and paper
though I prefer to type.
I'm much too busy writing
I can't take time to Skype.

Somewhere there's a lonely soul
who's hope is almost shattered.
I've got to write a line or two
to say that their dreams mattered.

I don't have a cape to wear,
or a mask in the midnight hour.
I'm sitting here with blue jeans on
showing off my souper power!

I am he and he is me
when things don't go like you plan.
Don't let your heart be troubled
Call me. I'm Souper man!
