Comics

Jewish comics like Jackie Mason
He didn't really find funny,
But he was getting hold of
The wrong end of the comedy schitck.

Emptiness

All the cardinal points 
The Equator line 
the metaphors 
all the comics 
the myths 
souls 
subtractions 
additions 
all the abstractions 
are human creations 
in vain hope 
of fulfilling the infinite empitness 
including 
hope and infinity 

Patricia Evans

Premium Member Childhood Fantasy

I use to dream someone was chasing me,
and I never knew why,
but I always got away so easily,
because I could fly, fly, fly,

Was it those superman comics inspiring me?
or maybe my, my, my,
..childhood fantasies setting me free,
to enjoy Gods heavenly sky.

(Probably both)

Making Headlines

I read you like the paper
 Your face a cover page
 I catch the comics daily
 I master all it's games
 Extra, extra, I'm all about it
 I'll slather up a soap box,
 An' have that **** surrounded.
 Hey everyone! This just in: 
 She's about to make headlines
 For swingin' them bats like Tony Gwynn

Premium Member Genius and Crazy

genius and crazy fit together like a puzzle
perfect and tight, cuddling up in a perfect fit.
if you do not have a bit of them both, you
will never know what poetry, art or music is.
imagination thrown in makes the perfect fire.
the comics, the dreamers, the dancers, the schemers know it.
you do too if you are truly living your life.

A Big Smile

a saraband

Big smile, laughter with a reason.
Clowns oft disguise their pain with mirth,
like the buffoon, Jackie Gleason.

Stand-up comics are risible;
Dick Van Dyke's stunts were visible.
Grimaldi of London was right -
"Grim all day" but funny at night

written June 17, 2017

risible means "arousing or provoking laughter"

Mother

She is always 
Radiant
In the morning
The clinking of pots & pans
She loves to laugh at the
Popping
Of the butter, or at the comics
-in the Sunday's paper.
Always showing those
Pearly whites
-a smile that is contagious
And the sun that
Kisses
Her blonde hair, & gives and extra 
Twinkle
-to her eyes
She is always 
Radiant 
In the morning.

Premium Member A Trunk In the Attic

At age ten, I found a trunk in the attic full of leather-bound books and tied up comics. Luckily they weren't dusty; I'm asthmatic, dad scored them cheap base on street economics but my recall’s somewhat melodramatic. But for years, leery of Russian atomics I would hide in the attic; my special place, and read a book, from Shakespeare to outer space.

Who Am I

Who am I?
I’m black so I have to hang with them
But, My grandma’s Asain do I hang with them.
I also like comics so do I hang with the nerds , 
But I’m a athlete do I hang with them
I guess i am different 
I’m unique
Maybe I am just me 
There should be more of me, 
People that break the social norms
People that don’t want to be just one thing
Just let the people be free.

Clown

A clown,
Mirror,reflecting your laugh back.

A clown,
Rudiments of jokes, penetrate  hearts.

A clown,
laughing stock,
Prayers of weeping heart,
Burst in  laugh.

A clown,
Mask of comics,
Making others joyful.

A clown,
Hiding  pains ,making others,
Pleasant.

A clown,
Freezing tears , inner,
Corner of his eyes,

A clown,
Stealing  hearts,
By Showering jokes.

Trust

The last time I trusted someone,
I thought of him as this hero.
To my younger self,
He was like something no one could touch.
As I got older, things started to change.
I realized that hero,
The one from the comics and fairy tales,
Was just that, something made up.
So when I started to trust again,
When I started to trust you,
I was scared you were going to be all made up too.

Premium Member Comics

A crisp art form
As drawings storm


Words and pictures
A strong mixture


Comics tell well
How format dwells


A lovely spell
As tale now tells


Plain black and white
Or colours cite


Pictures frame poise
In vivid voice


Sheer comic art
Touches my heart


Stories of old
In magic bold


Comics speak up
To flood my cup

Premium Member Princess Diana of Themyscira

Some know her as Princess Diana of Themyscira
She jumped onto comic book pages in 1942
Thus, she is eighty years old, but always drawn as much younger
Super powerful, taking on villains in a fashionable way

We recognize those legs and the high red boots
She has a magic lasso that holds the bad guys in place
On November 7th, 1975 she became a three-dimensional hero
You might know her as Wonder Woman

Premium Member Felix the Wonderful Cat

Theme song to Felix the cat went like this in the sixties.
Felix the cat
The wonderful wonderful cat
Whenever he is in a fix,
He’ll get into his magic tricks!

There is more. You can look the other words up if you want.
I am here to tell you that this cartoon looked nothing like a cat
Did not act like a cat either, but he was marvelous
loved his comics, adventures, and cartoon show when I was a child

Premium Member Flying Ace Kills It

Snoopy was slamming through the skies
At top speed, stealthier than the other fliers
Flying ace of the year, he assured anyone who would listen
Tweety bird sat in the co-pilot seat, knowing he’d best be quiet
They looped and whorled and rat-a-tatted the enemy
Guns blazing, fierce and untouched.
Sixty-two bullet holes, and they were unscathed.
Snoopy stretched his hand out and knocked over his water bottle.

Comic Con

Comics come in many forms 
From Archie and friends 
To Batman and Superman
Beano and the Dandy
Vampire stories
If you have a penchant for blood
Japanese ninja assassin's 
Laura Craft tales for the girl's 
Science Fiction from Galaxy's far away

But if Hustler or Playboy
Are more your thing
A word of advice
Don't bother visiting Comic Con
It may be dark 
But It's most definitely not Blue
Sorry for you

Premium Member Superman Comics, Cuban Cigars

   Five-and-Ten, a ‘Mom-and-Pop’
      just down the road
   Ye olde-fashioned ice cream shoppe

   Round the corner a little bit
      an old barber’s pole
   Enjoy the flavor of candy-cane wit

   Near the station, a musty news-stand
      superman comics, Cuban cigars
   Circus announcements, strike up the band

   All these things: Why, they still exist!
      ~ etched in memories of indelible mist

Let Jack Study

Stories, cartoons, 
comics I love most
English, maths and science 
are like ghosts
They haunt me all day
disturb my dreams, 
keep me awake
I want to play 
all the way
Let Jack study, 
he is the dull boy
Schools are like monsters, 
traps us inside
Only a history teacher, 
we all together like
Akbar to Shivaji, 
Rani Laxmibhai
They fought and played, 
never went to school
Want to be those heroes, 
Why make me run behind books.

Rabbinical Talk

There are rabbis and there are rabbis 
Some are Orthodox, Hasidic, New Age, Conservative - what have you 
Some are liberal, some more conservative 
I am writing about my Jewish heritage now 
The fact that I am a Middle Earth "nut" and a former Marvel Comics "nut" 
doesn't deter me from that 
Verse can be enjoyable whatever creed you subscribe to 
or whatever religion you were born into 
I don't eat pork chops
Am I a hypocrite or what?
