NaPoWriMo, Day Twelve, Poem Twelve

Two of a set of haiku I will be submitting to Ryk McIntyre's project "Look Up In The Sky!" It's a set of Superman related haiku.

Superman's Calm

You never hear him
yell at crooks, "I'm Superman
you gun-throwing fucks!"

His bottled city
smells like hamster-cage sometimes.
Yet, he doesn't mind.

Why have we only
seen his best power--the kiss--
in Superman II?

His kiss can make a
loved one forget his secrets.
We've all wanted that.


I might go back and add to this.

Something more substantial tomorrow. Maybe.

I can't believe there are no other comments. These poems are great.
