The Bolts of Balthakk

Like many heroes of mysterious Marvel Comics, Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a bolt of magic mix; Spells of supernatural kinds he works, abundantly, Crimsons, crystals, ice, rings, chains - in constant redundancy...! Pile of pure pulverization and annihilation, The Bolts of Balthakk has become eternal damnation; On any stuff - solid or liquid - the bolt does explode, Like iron-oxidation, all powers it does corrode...! Bounds, rebounds, rings, winks, blows, boomerangs at its master's hands, Swishes, swooshes; whizzes, whooshes like winds in desert sands; None in heaven or hell could ever its gravity hold, Like swift, sly electric current it does its force unfold...! Is it terrible torch of fire? Or lake of lava? Is it hydro-nitrogen bomb resembling baklava? From hands of Doctor Strange, like gold dust they serenely fly, Clapping, crashing, flashing, dazzling, booming, zooming they spry...! Doctor Strange manipulates these bolts like liquid plasma, For him, a magic-surgeon, it's mere mental miasma; An awesome third eye adorns the forehead of Doctor Strange, For mesmerized kids, these are, delightful amusement-range...! 30 August 2022 Doctor Strange Spells Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
