Best Marvel Poems

Imbuing the hour with piquant fog 
an intricate yet final sway of this arc rises:
How autumn’s skyline  reels  into  weaves
as stars orbit in a basin of clouds naked   
within a dome’s mantle  glimmering  glimmering:
My breath hushes while more...

Rustling blades of ruby float on my front lawn,
        gazebo flooded with gold and chartreuse leaves-
I sit at my bay window, in awe I fawn, 
        Autumn's pure beauty comforts and...

A once vibrant Cosmic marvel turned to dust, 
the result of hate, and of ignorance and of lust!

An illusion we have of being the crown of creation,
an illusion that has caused none but devastation!

As our giver of life stands right before our eyes,
we choose to...

A speeding star or spaceship, no it’s SUPERMAN
Only a bat can tell who knows and sees, but as a caped crusader, one can feel the breeze being BATMAN
The Legend Of Justice, but the dialog being doom
A fight to the finish
But who will be victorious and...

Charles d'Orleans: a Medieval Marvel


Spring
by Charles d’Orleans (c. 1394-1465)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Young lovers,
greeting the spring
fling themselves downhill,
making cobblestones ring
with their wild leaps and arcs,
like ecstatic sparks
struck from coal.

What is their brazen goal?

They grab at whatever passes,
so we can only hazard guesses.
But they rear...

MARVEL 1960s

As I journey into mystery
I come across the tower of shadows
Into the chamber of darkness
I'm found tales to astonish
Hulking and giant men
Sub marina
Involved in tales of supense
Iron men and american Captains
Oh! but strange tales
Doctors and one eye patch wearing --
    government...

The Marvel of the Peak


There is a disconnect, a denial perhaps,
of the years endured.  A separation of
the mind and body, a landlord/tenant
disagreement regarding the use of the
facilities in question.  The physical plant
functions well enough, and the tenant,
well, he thinks not at all of...

I marvel at the hope found in evolution, 
The message of newness everyday;
The ancestry, use of strength, genetics, 
The honouring of sex and life’s sway. 

The knowledge that behaviour matters, 
What I do daily determines my genes, 
That I pass on to my children, grandkids,...

In the depths of hellfire, his spirit ablaze,
Johnny Blaze rides out, the Ghost Rider's craze.
His penance, to serve vengeance on the guilty,
Flaming skull, chain whip, his methods filthy.

His roar echoes, through the night,
Burning sinners, till they're out of sight.
A force of reckoning, he leaves no...

Back when I was four or five,
unspeakable was my joy:
admiring rainbowed prisms
in my marble, my treasured toy.

Only in the grownups' world
was a crumpled dollar bill
more treasured than my marble
there glistening on the window sill....

Victim written all over me
But strength lies deep within
Unsure who I should set free
Whose heart my actions underpin
Which ego is my alter
At which altar do I pray
Who holds me when I falter
Who'll save me from the fray
My only chance is solitude 
Or do I wish...

From ashes of Sokovia, a twin sister rose,
With powers of chaos and psionic flows,
Wanda they called her, tethered spirit unfurled,
As women before her, she reckoned this world. 

Her pain born of loss, and hurt tragedy,
Fueled a hatred not native and made enemy,
Tony Stark, as she...

Thanos wanted to bring
chaos to the world 
He thought if he could 
wipe out half of everything 
it would bring balance

Thor tried to make sure
that Thanos didn’t get
the stone within the 
tesseract but Loki
gave it right into his 
hands and he snapped 
his neck in...

In her ivory tower, she was raised,
A sheltered child, a life of ease,
But Alice's tale, Lorina's heart had seized,
Her mind now set on a different phase.

Married at twenty to a man much too old,
Her life as a trophy wife grew stale,
And so she plotted, her...
