Superhero Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Superhero
I was in hospital watching
As the good doctors were saving
Jumping and shouting: that's my bone marrow
So I could see my brothers tomorrow
I saved baby Gio
Because I love him so
And I saved baby Santino
Because I'm a superhero
I saved you guys so you could be
With mommy daddy hero me
No big deal 'cause I'm a superhero
And we didn't want to be in such sorrow
Giggle juice put me in deep sleep
And nurse said so I wouldn't weep
I saw Batman and Spiderman
Superman turned me into man
I was flying so very high
With Captain America in sky
I wore Batman's mask and cape
To fight bad guys in good shape
Mommy now ties balloon to me
So I could fly and feel free
I like to be free like good guys
Not go to jail like bad guys
A 4 year old boy who knows so much and does so much with a definite purpose is a real life Superhero. Hats off to him as well as to you for bringing his acts of courage to light. Thank you, Richard.
Rajnish, it's stories like this one that truly inspire us poets. Thank you so much for your wonderful response!
Richard, one of your best. So imaginative and powerful.+++10 Robert

I really like this poem. You thoroughly inhabit the consciousness of a child whose generosity of spirit is free of egoism. This is the child's sensibility Jesus associated with salvation but we outgrow and must be forgiven. But in your poem it still shines in all its glory. I don't like at all the cult of comix siperheroes - it's a perversion of the mythic heritage.. But in this poem you raised me to the empyrean with purity and delight.
Wow! I really like your response, Daniel. When I'm reading this poem in public, I do it as if I were that 4 yrs old boy. The response has been so very positive. Watch out for the video!
