Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Souperman

Watched “Man Of Steel” last night
Reminded me of my own Souper powers
Don't want to brag or anything like that
But this role is not for cowards

My mission is, should I choose to accept it
To rid this old world of sadness
Not an easy task the way things are going
But SOUPERMAN can end this madness

He does it with love, lightness and laughter
Acts silly, plays the part of a clown
Always upbeat and ready with the funnies
So people can't possibly be down

He doesn't expect a reward or great fame
Just to know the sadness he defeated
Then zoom up high to the heavens above 
To return whenever he's needed

Demetrios Trifiatis October 21, 2013 at 8:35 AM You are really a SOUPERMAN my good friend and will entrust you with my life! A smile that you bring worth megatons of good in this world! Excellent work but mostly excellent DEED! Thank you! Demetrios Trifiatis October 21, 2013 at 11:16 AM It is not flattering! I know how much a smile worth in this world! Jack Ellison October 21, 2013 at 8:42 AM I am stunned! Such a tribute... I didn't write it for nor did I expect such a flattering response! THANK YOU my good friend!

Carol Eastman October 21, 2013 at 8:12 AM Dragon loves souper Dooper man movies... He puts on a cape... But all it does is scare the birds away... He's too young to have your wisdom yet... And he occassionally hits a tree... then crashes and burns... That means when he crashes the wind gets knocked out of him and it burns a few things... But for a 2 year old Grandpa Troll says he's doing well... A Dragon has smaller wings and takes a little practice... But never fear... Dragon's here... You give him hope he'll make it. Up! Up! and away! Jack Ellison October 21, 2013 at 8:19 AM Up! Up! and away! It's SOUPMAN... I'm here to save the day!!!! With his faithful companion, Tonto... NO WAIT!!! That's THE LONE RANGER! My memory is not what it used to be! LOL xoxoxox

Eileen Manassian October 21, 2013 at 6:55 AM :) You go, Superman! You have super powers indeed! Hugs! Jack Ellison October 21, 2013 at 6:58 AM Souperman, Kenny and Jack all thank you my dear sweet Eileen! Big hugs xoxox

Russell Sivey October 21, 2013 at 6:50 AM I love that, Souperman, yes that is what you are my friend! I really loved the way you present yourself, as it is all very true Jack! You do cheer us all up, and bring love into the world by your tenderness and humor! You gave me an idea, I think I'll write a poem, by instead of me being Souperman, as that title is purely yours, but I should be called Hallowman, doesn't that seem fitting? I'll work on that this morning! What a fantastic piece here Jack, Great Work!! Jack Ellison October 21, 2013 at 6:59 AM You go Russell, or should I say "Hallowman"!!! LOL Cheers!
