08 Jul 2009

Today’s random twitter poem “The Last Superhero” was fun to write, it was inspired by imprisoned, disenchanted and DNA and the whole them just popped into my head.  I kind of imagined Superman having the world turning against him after years of trying to do good.  Thanks to the following twitter followers for the 13 random words (in blue) today:
@daNanner (tarmac), @RemBeatZ (imprisoned), @mattstratton (mortified), @coffeetablepoet (incredible), @KathrynVercillo (generosity), @twitlaureate (ignite), @AnnEvanston (DNA), @SpaceAgeSage (disenchanted), @A_Lan (Chironomus), @or1gb1u3 (irony), @summerbreeze80 (scintillation), @nicolaquinn (pusillanimous)
@jmbuckingham (twinkle)

The Last Superhero

Mortified, bound and transported across a tarmac
chiromonus buzzing around in the warm night air
only generosity found in the scintilation of stars
bitter irony, that you are to be imprisoned here
so they can study and ignite your incredible DNA
after you have saved them, time and time again
pusillanimous people filled with a twinkle of fear
now a once proud unique hero of the world is reduced
to a disenchanted oddity and freak of nature
this marks the end of the last known superhero
