Inspiration: Sometimes Saturdays make us feel a greater sense of energy and hope knowing the weekend is here. Let’s have some fun rounding out our first week of poems with some super-inspired verses.
- Write a poem about a superhero coming to your house and confronting you about something. Somewhere in the poem, state what YOUR superpower is.
- If you could have any super power, what would it be and what would you do with it? Write a poem that captures you in a superpower moment.
- Do you already have a “super” power? Tell us about it.
- Do you have a favorite super hero? Tell us who and why.
- Do you have a memory of watching a superhero cartoon or movie or comic? Tell us about it.
- Do you have an opinion about superheros and why those movies seem to make so much money? Tell us.
My fingers eagerly and swiftly fly
Across those six strings
The flowing melody hides my cry
For the man who now has wings
My favorite superhero isn’t like any other
He isn’t invincible and can’t soar the sky
But he is a dad, a son, and a brother
An ordinary man with a legacy so high
The strength he’s given me
The hard work he’s enstilled
The person he’s helped me to be
Is exactly why my life is fulfilled
My dad, my best friend
My favorite superhero
A beautiful tribute to your father, Jessica!
Power, what is it?
Does it need to be super to be power?
does getting through everything life throws at us count as super?
because most people wouldn’t make it in this cruel world if we all didn’t have power.
If I could have any power,
it would be reading people’s mind
I would chose this power because
it would help me know what’s going on with others
And it would help me help others when they need it
People want power
Not just to have them
But so they can benefit from it
I would want to be a hero from a movie
I do however want to end pain
End suffering
And give people chances
I believe thats a real hero
The phrase “But so they could benefit from it” got me thinking about how the world is because I think people want power only to benefit themselves and not to help others as much/
A Superhéroe
Has so many great qualities
They help defeat the evil
Everyone love them
I will love to be one
There good heart
Is the best power
A superheroes can have
A good heart
Can do many things
That’s the superpower I want to have
if i had a super power i would chose speed because i could do things fast so i could help my mom so she wouldn’t be that tired and then we could still more time together.
If i had to pick a power it wold be teleportation.
i say this because you would have time for more things.
i do know a super hero and its my mom she is
the bravest and most intelligent of the all.
my hero is my mom
Shes always there for me when i need help
Shes always there to save the day..
my hero,my hero doesnt have any special powers,
because my hero doesnt fight
my hero doesnt have any wings
because my hero doesnt fly.
my hero is different from any other supercreatures.
my hero is just and ordinary human being.
my hero makes me smart
my hero makes me a better person
my hero makes me appreciate/know life,
because my hero is my Mother.
Super speed
You could get anywhere in amatter of seconds to and fro
you could win any race and be an inspiration
and who doesn’t love free travel to any country.
If I could have any super power it would be telekinesis because it kind of reminds me of the force from Star Wars.
If I could have any 3 powers then they would be:
1) Super Speed
2) Heat/Cold resistant
3) Indestructible
4) Shape shifting body powers
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
5) No physical feeling of pain
Nice list of “3” powers
5 – 3 = 2
Illuminati has 10 letters
10 x 2 = 20
20 divided by 5 = 4
5 – 3 = 2 We haven’t used 1 number yet and that’s 3
4 x 3 = 12
5 x 3 = 15
15 – 12 = 3 the exact number we just started with so, lets go back to the illuminati thing it has 10 letters right? 10 x 3 = 30
You posted this at 6:36 just 30 digits off of 666, but guess what? we have 30 left over so
36 + 30 = 66
6:66 = bad number
illuminati confirmed?
If I could have any super power it would be
Invisibility
I could disappear in awkward moments
Trick people
I think it could be fun
I really liked how you picked this super power and I agree with the line “I could disappear in awkward moments” that would come in really handy.
If I can have any super it would be
super speed
I can get to places with in a dashh
I can do tings supers fast
I get more time to do more things
if I had a super power
It would be
The power of telekinesis
because I could move stuff
With my mind
I would want this
Because i wouldn’t have
To get up anymore
Superpowers
Aren’t they amazing
their powers can heal people
and the power that I would like to have is the
power to teleport
I can travel anywhere for free
And I might even have the power to bring my family
with me also
I can get to trouble and crimes quicker
super powers
if i could only have one super power it wouldn’t be the ability to fly
or be invisible
or super strength
or even super speed
in fact the super power i would want is one that some people might already posses
it would be to be content with what i have
to find the good things in a terrible situation
to know what to say when people ask me for help
to be optimistic about the future
my super power would be to be happy
I thought that when you said, “my super power would be to be happy,” it was a unique superpower because I would have never thought of that, and I just thought it was a very cool superpower that’s different from what people might think of when they hear superheros.
A frown,
stress,
why must suffering be constant?
assignment, after assignment,
yelling,
violence,
insults,
where is the peace?
why is it so distant?
why can’t I have a break?
if only,
if only it could end,
but it’s not like I have super powers
Batman,
Superman,
Wonder Women,
I can go on and on about these superheroes,
Sure I do like them, but they aren’t my favorite,
My favorite superhero is over powered,
can kill anything or anyone in one punch,
Trained three years to get his power,
Though he wanted to be the strongest man in the world,
He got what he wanted,
No one can put up a challenge for him,
He realized that being powerful is boring,
And develops depression,
He’s just a hero for fun,
Saitama,
The one punch man..
I can relate to when you say “sure I do like them, but they aren’t my favorite” because i think that no other superheroe is as cool as Saitama.
I like how you didn’t pick any of the heroes that most people pick and instead chose one that’s not widely recognized as a superhero.
I’ve never been a fan of superheros but if I had to pick my favorite it would be batman because he doesn’t get recognized as much as the others. He can teach you to be different and not go by what everyone else says to you.
I would chose
speed
To get away from my parents
When they yell at me I can zoom away anywhere
I like how you explained that you can “zoom away,” when your parents get mad at you. It was funny and I enjoyed that part of the poem
Any superpower?
I would choose flight, Who wouldn’t like to fly around?
you would be the coolest person in the world
flying not even having to use your legs at all
free travel also.
One super power
Just one
I would want it to be…
The ability to fly
I could just lift off and fly away
Who needs a car to waste money on gas?
Who needs to pay thousands of dollars to book a flight?
I could just fly away to any place I desire
If i had super powers
it would be to fly
i love heights because it makes me feel impossible
if i had a super power
it would probably be
teleportation
because i could go anywhere i want
just by thinking it
My superhero is my big brother,Mom,Dad.
My big brother is my super hero for many of reasons
He paid the fee for me to play football
He made me mad but i would be laughing in the end because i know its just a joke
My mom is also my super hero for helping me when i was little for putting food on the table just like my dad. she is the bestes hero i can ever have and she is still here helping me through problems buys stuff i need
My dad is my super hero also because he was always honest with me
me and have some ups and downs but he makes sure everything is okay
he makes sure that im smiling and having one girlfriend that won’t betray me
he knows whats best for me
If I had super power
It would be to disappear
I could leave
Wouldn’t ever be seen again
No one would know
I would be gone
Forever
As I read graphic novels,
I see my heroes jump out of every page
To save the day once again.
These superheroes that I have always loved
That have become role models to me and many others,
Will always be loved.
These heroes let you believe that anything is possible,
And that anything can happen to you.
if i could have a superpower
it would be…
Invisibility!
obviously i would control it
steal anything i want
pull pranks
have fun
and never
get caught
If I were to have a
superpower it would be be to have
telekinesis
and telepathy.
Just
IMAGINE
what it would be like to
chuck and move things with my mind.
It would also be so fun to
be able to read someones mind.
I might be able to even alters someone opinion.
if i had a superpower i would have mind control,super speed,and super strength
if i could have a super power
it would be all the powers that goku has
i can turn super saiyan 1,2,3,4, god and super saiyan blue
i can use instant transmission to teleport anywhere i want
i can use his super attacks and his ultimate attacks like the dragon fist or the super Kamehameha
wave
i could also fly supper fast like i can go around the world in one day
i can be super fast like i can catch a bullet
dude same bro
Cool Louie! I am glad you found another place to write about your love of this game! Your shark Tank project was another cool piece that shows your love of it!
If I could have a super power,
It would be to teleport.
I could travel the world,
Without having to pay a penny.
I can relate to when you said”without having to pay a penny” because I have 3 pounds of pennies in my purse and I never use them.
Yes finally! I’ll be able to meet Nicolas Cage
With my super powers, I can make him magically appear before me, any celebrity!
I won’t need to see him merely performing on a stage!
I do my signature jazz hands
And before me appears none other than
Nicolas Cage
He looked around shocked and confused
I just hand a microphone stand!
Hah! My celebrity crush has finally appeared
After all these years fangirling had become tiresome and wastes way too much energy
But within an hour he sadly
Disappeared
Super heroes?
superman.
batman.
spider-man.
We get so caught up in all these imaginary people
that when we come back to reality
we see
disappointment
sadness
people In need of help
lost hope
fake smiles
broken hearts
and where is the superhero that we all need?
the super heroes that everyone talks about?
Their not here…
Sometimes we need to let go of all the imaginary and fake people
and focus on finding the super hero we need
in order to live our lives and maybe for once
feel special and loved
But who will it be?
who will be your superhero?
WOW, I really love how you used the good everyone thinks of super hero biased and made a change in reality.
I have a superhero
I see her everyday
She wakes up early for me
And cares for me in every way
She love kids
And has six of her own
She never fails to make me smile
She’s very well known
I like your use of metaphor, saying “I have a superhero”, meaning your mom(or someone else) is a superhero. It really gives the poem a kind, loving mood, in appreciation of your superhero.
Mind reading
Superpower
I mean I guess
Using it for what exactly
Using it to see what people really think of me
Yeah yeah
I know
It’s dumb
But I would really like to know what YOU think about me
Think about it
i liked when you wrote the phrase, ” think about it”. good job
If I could have a super power
I would have super speed
Would not be late
Be super early for anything
Oh wait i’m late
if i could have any super power it would be the power of Flight and super strength I would focus on the small stuff help anyone and everyone I would save poor animals from extinction i would end world hunger i would solve global warming and help if your getting robbed consider me their if you need help on math Homework i am right behind you and always ready to help
I would want my superhero power to be able to read people’s minds
It would let me see how other people see me
I would be able to understand what someone’s going through
I would be able to help
I would also have laughs
I am a hero.
I make people smile.
I make people happy.
I make people cherish what they have.
I make people care for another.
I make people’s life easier.
I am a hero.
Hand full of things I need to accomplish.
Hand full of people who needs my help.
Hand full of responsibility.
Hand full of pain I hold back.
Hand full of emotions I can’t let it out.
I am a hero.
I am a hero?
I have a superpower to help people be happy.
Does it help “me” to be happy?
I’m love helping people,
it makes me happy when they are happy.
Am I really happy?
I don’t care,
as long as other people are happy.
I am a hero -?
Oooh Jane! Great poem- gave me the chills a little. Such mature thinking to worry so much about others, I hope you remember to be happy too!
Spider man
My favorite superhero
He can be the most selfless self he can be because no one can see the good things he does
He can hid behind the bad things
He can run from the world but still stay close
Spider man is my favorite hero because he’s the most human kind of super he can be
Me too! i love spider man he is a great person i have a HUGE CONNECTION to that one.
if i a met a hero a man would walk into my house and black goo comes out of the wall and it creates a man and grabs me and takes me to the top of a building and leave me there and tells me do not be afraid so i jump he catches me and tells me you are right all ways have no fear by fearless
POWER OF BLACK GOKU WHITE AND ROSE
if i could have any super power
i would have the power of black goku
i will use that power for good and evil
i will be at nobody side
i will fight the strongest hero or bad guy
i will be the strongest in the universe
the power of a sayian white the super sayian white
if you don’t know dragon ball will you should watch dragon ball because it’s cool.
that will be my power.
One superpower I would want
Is to read minds
because I could say things
that people had no chance to say
If I could have any superpower, it would be telepathy.
With this oh so mystical power I could make it summer by moving the sun.
I could become invisible by moving rays of light.
I could teleport by moving the entire universe except me.
I could make water shoot out of my hands, or literally ride the wind.
I could hunt for aliens, I could feed the world.
But most importantly, I can get the TV remote without having to get up.
If i could have any super power
it would be the power to sleep forever.
If i could have any super power
I would choose to be as fast as the flash
I could run to school in a minute and could wake up late
Also i could go anywhere i wanted.
i can do a lot of things
Fly
Imagine if you could fly.
You could go anywhere at anytime.
You wouldn’t need the help of anyone either.
It is pretty simple too.
It is a very easy choice.
Time Travel
I want to fix my past choices
And a lot of them
But this kind of clashes with one of my brliefs
“Everything happens for a reason”
So If I went back in time to fix my mistakes
What would those reasons be?
In a world where is had any power of my choosing i would love the power to slow down or speed up time
I could enjoy the good moments for as long as i like
and speed through the bad ones
i could be more aware
And would not make as many mistakes
If I was a superhero
I’d definitely fly
arms out stretched
racing birds in the sky .
If I was a superhero
I’d had special powers
like extra strong legs
for jumping over towers.
If I was a superhero
I’d save all the oceans
with my secret and magical
cleaning potions
If I was a superhero.
I’d save all the tress
and the mountains and rivers
the birds and the bees
If I was a superhero
I’d help out the poor
give them food
and make them hungry no more
If I was a superhero
I’m sure you’ll agree
the world would be better
because of me!
you did good, very good
superheros are ordinary people
but really help people
save the world
prevent bad things from happening
different people in the movies have different powers
you do not have to be
superman
batman
or captain America
to be a hero to someone
invisibility
If i could have any super power
It would be invisible
Being invisible would be fun
i could listen to conversations without people knowing
i can look out for people
They won’t even know i’m there
i can sneak on a plane and go explore the world
When i feel like i’m all alone
And don’t want anyone to find me then
I can just turn invisible
I can do anything when i’m invisible
And nobody would ever know it was me
What superpower would i like to have?
I would have the power to not feel or get hurt,
because all you do is get hurt by people that you love,
Or get hurt by being yourself,
and if someone wants to hit go give it a shot because i wont feel anything,
As people say it will numb the pain or i wont feel any
if i could have any superpower
it would be to forget
to forget the past
to forget the pain i have endured over the years
it would be to move on
and keep going with life
to not think about the people who dont even care
that dont even care about me
it would be to live life and enjoy it to the fullest
if i had this superpower i wouldnt care what people think
or why people think it but if only
i could have superpowers…………
Superhero
is a superhero a person that lives to fight crime?
or is it a person who will be there no matter what?
is it someone who can fly and has a unpenetrable shield?
or is it someone who has been there when no one else was?
I think Superhero means
someone who listens
someone who is there for you
someone who cares
most superheroes now don’t where capes
there everywhere
I watch and wait for my superhero to come
standing still I look around but yet nothing.
I can feel his powers when they touch me
like an electric shocking rushing through my body.
I feel strong like nothing can stop me but now it’s gone.
What will I do without my superhero
who always came and saved the day.
How can I feel strong again without his power.
Maybe someday a new superhero will come to my rescue.
Superheroes are amazing
Powerful, and brave
but what they don’t say
is they are just people
They save our lives but who will save theirs
It’s hard to spot the ones in the crowd
but if you look deep inside someone
you will see the battles they won
It will take sometime but be a hero and smile at someone

Poem 7: My Superpower
My superpower is something that I can’t reveal
For then someone will try to steal it from me
And use it on me
So I’ll just describe it through my poetry
It makes the strongest go weak
It makes the wrong seem right
It gives me a sense of mystery
It allows me to sleep through the night
It’s size is undecided
All my life it has guided me
Through the darkened path of life
When I can’t see
It sheds some light
I Believe I Can Fly (no, not the song MJ dunked to in Space Jam!)
Looking up at the sky
Birds gliding above
Where are they going?
I step out in the sun
Jump up and close my eyes
Where to now?
Flying, soaring, floating
Looking down below
What do I see?
Trees, houses, cars
So small, so many
Where is the next stop?
The glistening water shines
The sun warms my back
What is the destination?
Zig zagging through the wind
If only this dream would become a reality
Only the Men
SpiderMAN
SuperMAN
BatMAN
IronMAN
Ant-MAN
Only they get the powers
Only they get the sequels
Only they get the girl
Only they, are strong
Only they, are tough
Only they, are big
Only they wear pants
Only they have sidekicks
Only they carry weapons
Rad Maddie- really, so true. Great writing highlighting something important.
Flying would be cool,
I guess.
When I would fly, I would zoom over the small towns,
the cities,
the rural farms,
and I would see people there.
Flying would help me see the world as if a were a bird,
but like a bird, I would be helpless to change it.
If I could breath underwater I could be like a fish,
I could swim and flow about and see worlds of which no one could describe.
I would see coral, turtles, dolphins,
even other fish that could swim like me,
but I would also see shipwrecks.
Maybe I would even see one in progress.
I would swim to the sinking boat like a fish,
but like a fish, I would have to watch as the horror commences.
So everyone wants a superpower,
Flying,
Breathing underwater,
but if you can’t save anyone,
is it really a super power?
The “super power” that I would want isn’t special,
it isn’t extra terrestrial,
nor god-like,
but I think it’s a good one.
To any person who feels unworthy of themselves,
like they don’t matter,
I could make them feel like they are the most important person on the planet.
Not in a self absorbed way either.
Just enough to where, they too, can make others feel the same.
then those people will make others feel the same,
and so on.
A super power can’t benefit you,
but a super power is something that can benefit others.
So flying would be cool,
but birds already exist.
Be a different kind of bird.
One that can change others for the better.
Only then will you have achieved a real “super power.”
Any superpower?
Teleportation.
Travelling places,
Faster than the speed of light.
Bending the rules of quantum mechanics.
Why, you ask?
I’ll never be last.
I’ll never be late.
Super speed
Feel the rushing wind
Blow my hair.
Flying
The mist of clouds
Sprinkle my face.
Disappearing
To be alone
Where I can think.
And read…
If I had a
Power,
I would be able to
Read
A book
For the first time
All over again
So I could
Rediscover
The wonder of
Words.
(Yay, more cringe!)
My only superpower
Is the inability to make a good poem
That is a good poem that describes your view of yourself.
The Empathizer
My super hero feat would be the power to empathize
Understand and feel another’s emotions and hear their secret cries
To be able to be there to hold a hand when no one else is near
To hug them and have them relieved of their fear.
Watching as a smile lights up a saddened face
Because they can feel your presence, your warm embrace
When in the darkness they can no longer find the light
You can be their shining candle, so bold and bright.
When in their nervous moments you appear to instill a sense of calm
Like some noted words of comfort found in a psalm
You are beside them at any time, in any day
They know you will be there to lead the way.
Just as Professor X can detect all mutants and humankind
Your empathetic ability can stretch out to every mind
So that anyone in any place, no matter how young or old
Will no longer have to feel depression’s inner cold.
Look up to the stars or close your eyes and imagine
The Empathizer will be there with all her passion
To lend a shoulder of support or to always be a friend
True empathy’s care and compassion will never end.
This poem is very powerful, I too wish I could read others emotions, just to know whats going on. ¨feel another´s emotion and to hear their secret cries¨ That part really got to me.
If I was able to have any superpower
it would be the ability to play with time.
I would be able to go back and fix problems in the past,
I could predict the future for the good ,
but the best thing is I can freeze time when a bad thing is occuring.
If I could have a super power,
I would have unlimited knowledge.
This means I would have a lot of brain power,
and I would be able to go college.
School would be really easy,
and the teachers would be amazed.
I wouldn’t commonly be uneasy,
when everything would be explained.
Mind Reading
I know what you’re thinking
Before the words leave your lips
I know your thoughts
As they fill your mind like
Cars in a parking lot
And games you play
And
The things you wish you didn’t say
Even your secrets
Belong to me
So I can truly
Mind read
If I could I have one superpower, it would be for me to be able to heal others;
For the sick and the weak,
I would be able to seek,
Others in need,
I could be able to feed,
I could heal the injured,
My power will have great speed,
They will become healed indeed,
No, there is no catch,
If I were those in need,
I would feel blessed,
With my superpower,
I could help those in need.
(this actually happened to my computer which was the inspiration for this poem)
Black ink
Slowly fills the cracked screen of
Her hopeful, vivid imagination.
The colors that were once displayed in
Her beautiful personality
Now hide behind a
Broken
Tattered
Forgotten
Screen and
black ink
Silently
Slowly
Without warning,
Wipes away all things beautiful leaving
Nothing
But
A cracked screen
And and empty heart.
I like how you can take what happens in your day and turn it into poetry
If I had a super power
It would be invisibility
That way I could dispear
When I need to hide
When I don’t want to be seen
When I’m embarrassed
Or sad
I could be invisible
So no one could see me
And that would be me
I really like this poem because we all don’t want to be noticed at one point for a reason.
people have many super powers
the power to care
the power to understand
the power to learn
all those powers can help you concur the greatest villain of all,
life
but when everyone comes together and works as a team we all have one superpower in common
the power to change the world
I like how you used regular people to display super heros and how they change the world. I also like how you include the fact that teamwork is what changes the world considering the fact that most superheros in comic books work alone.
Flying
can
take you
away
to a
place you’ve
never
been
and
see
people you
haven’t
met
In a world where I had a power, I would probably have the ability to travel through time
Because who wouldn’t want the ability to correct past mistakes?
Live a completely perfect life, and the ability to keep it so?
Make the world perfect?
That person would probably be me
I like the peice but maybe add whats bad about having the “perfect” life
I don’t believe,
that there is,
any superheroes,
out there,
but they’re people,
who do remarkable things,
everyday,
because,
you don’t need a power,
to do good,
in the world
This is very deep and true, really makes you think about life.
Strength, Flight, Psychic Powers
Everyone wants the power to defeat a villain.
But are these really necessary?
If I had a superpower,
I would want the power
to convince the villain
That what he’s doing is wrong.
I would tell him, “Stop!
You are hurting innocent people.
Is this the kind of person you wanna be?”
I’d be able to reach out to him
And he’d put his weapons down.
He’d go home and rethink his wrongs,
And in the morning, he would right them.
He would go home, happy, and so would I.
If things were this way, perhaps the world
Would be a better place.
I love this Abigail! Thoughtful and fair. difficult to convey in a poem but I felt it. 🙂
I don’t really know a superhero
Just some ordinary people
Who had saved me
From many things
But if someone were to say
“Oh those people saved you?
Well their superheros, honey!”
But to me they’re just ordinary people
With some extraordinary way
Of coming to the rescue
But these ‘superheros’
Have yet to know
That they saved me
From some troubling times
But once they know
I’d like to thank them
From each moment
They came to the rescue.
Superhero.
Someone we want to be.
Is it because of their ability to beat anyone?
Their ability to reign on top?
Because that’s all anyone wants.
To be the best.
Is it because of their flowing cape
or the mask that covers what they hide on their face?
Sometimes all we want is to be hidden from the seeker.
Or maybe it’s because of the fame they receive.
The fact that everyone knows their name.
Maybe all we want is to have a place in the world.
Be important.
When everyone looks up, they see you.
But what is one thing
that everybody wants?
They’d do anything for?
Could be happiness or love.
But I can guarantee you,
Superheros don’t have everything.
I love how you looked at things in a new way. Very creative.
What power do you want?
To be able to fly
To destroy or create
To become invisible
To be speedy
All these powers have one thing in common
There used for good
Or maybe for bad
Let’s not be bad
I can relate because some people abuse their power
What is a superhero?
A person that saves?
A person that come to your rescue?
A person that flys around, fighting?
Or a person that cares?
A person that listens?
“Super Hero” is a vague term.
Is it a person with powers that defeats villains?
Or a person that’s there for you?
you did very good explaining, this can really make you think about the people close to you in life.
This made me think differently about super heroes thank you.
I like how you looked at a superhero differently and not as a hero from a comic book
If I could have any superpower, it would be creation.
I could create or destroy a whole nation.
I could make whatever I wish,
I would be unstoppable-ish.
Because technically, I could create any superpower I want.
So…
I could have
Super Strength,
Speed,
Teleportation,
and Mind Control.
Telepthy,
Invisibility,
Time Travel,
and Shapeshifting.
Prerocognition,
Psychokinesis,
Healing,
and Omnipotence.
If I could have a superpower, it would be creation.
That’s clever.
I have a favorite super hero. But not the type you think. It has to do with someone that has a special link. You may not understand and I don’t expect you to. But the heroes for me are the ones that don’t make you feel blue. Now you may say “Batman!” Or “Superman!” They have special powers. But the heroes for me are those that spend time with people and that’s how they spend their hours. The real superheroes are the ones that don’t have powers, and use what they have to help people. Some of them like priests work in a steeple. But not all people are brave enough to use what they have. While I sit in school on the chromebook using Test-Nav
I like how you give examples like “Some of them like Priests work in a steeple.” It shows that you are understanding the subject you are talking about. I really like how you add “The real superheroes are the ones that don’t have powers, and use what they have to help people.” Nice job.
The only superhero I know of is myself.
I know when something is wrong
and I try to fix it.
All the bad things in life are driven away by myself.
I know that sometimes to do the right thing
could be doing something wrong
in another perspective.
Superheros arent all about
fighting crime and being famous,
because I know that to be a real hero,
you just have to do whats right.
Not because you were told to,
but more of knowing what you have to do.
And Im aware that sometimes doing the right thing
could mean not being recognized
for doing the right thing.
Feeling that you should do something good
because you have to
or were forced to,
defeats the purpose of feeling good about it.
So the next time you feel something
is right to do, do it because you want to,
not because you need to.
The only superhero I looked up to
The only superhero whose powers I wished to emulate
The only real superhero in my eyes
The only superhero I grew up watching
The superhero who only I would have as close a bond with
The only time I needed him
He was gone
I can see that you put a lot of emotion in to this poem.
I really like how deep it is to you and when I read this I could really feel the power, i have one question…. who?
I can really see and feel your emotions by this poem..Good job!
If I could have any superpower, I think I would choose omnipotence or something like that. The ability to literally create something from nothing, so on and so forth. I could then create technology to produce other “superpowers” such as human flight, invisibility, or telekinesis.
Superheroes what are superheroes ? Yeah you think they are really good people but they show them that they are the best people but in the real world yeah there are good people but can they really be as good as they seem in the movies. The real superheroes are the people that actually help when people fall down when they lost there job the real superhero is the person that helps not any superhero that can fly that person is not going to help you get a job that . The real superhero are the people that care the real superheroes are that help people in need . But the real question is. Why do people think that people that have super power are superheroes ? Do they really care about if he helps people or do they care that he has superpowers ???
If i could have a super power
Then i would freeze time
Im late!
Not anymore
I just froze time
5 more minutes
No
All i need is one
He needs to get to a hospital
Hes there in a second
I am invisible
Wish that I coild be visible
I wish it was fixable
I am miserable
I like how in the poem you already have a superpower
Flying
Running
Saving lives
The thoughts racing through my head
Will I get these people back safe in bed?
I like how in your poem your main concern is to save peoples lives with a superpower that can only help you.
I noticed that you used the technique of rhyming in the phrase” The thoughts racing through my head, Will I get these people back safe in bed?” this is effective because it makes the reader more interested in your poem and makes them wonder what your superpower is.
If I could be any superhero I would be flash because I would quit my job as a superhero and become a villain cause who in the world can catch me!?! Then I could be rich and no one knows I stole all the money.
Hahah i can imagine you doing that! =)
Super powers.
Super heroes.
Spider-Man.
Batman.
Superman.
All people we look up to.
Even though they are imaginary.
The real super heroes
are the ones who
are there for us when we need someone.
We need to find those super heroes
in our lives.
They’ll be the ones to save us
when are in some big trouble
and need someone to be there.
I like the poem!
All you said is very true sometimes we get caught up on the imaginary world when really non of that will ever happen and we need to find a way to be our own super hero or find someone that will want to care for us as much as we want them to.
If I could acquire any superpower it would be flight,
I could fly anywhere I want and fly with the Northern Lights.
I could fly around the world and find new things,
And I could fly faster than bees that sting.
I really like the simile that you use, “And I could fly faster than bees that sting” because it really makes the reader imagine how fast a superhero can go. I also like how you use “the Northern Lights” because it adds an image in the reader’s head. When I read this I could imagine bright lights in the sky and it added a joyful affect to the poem.
If I could have any superpower
I would be invisible
I would use it to help people
lIsten to them
And help them
In times of need
If she existed
She would fly through the window
and explain my math homework
She would give my friend
the money he forgot
She would refill the chrome book with energy
so I don’t have to wait
If she existed, she wouldn’t be too special
She would do the simple things
I think we all need a superhero or someone like that. Doing even the smallest acts of kindness can make someones day! Not a lot of people think of this. So thank you for bring us an everyday superhhero
If I could have any superpower,
I would have super speed,
So I could run places,
And do my needs,
I could travel anywhere,
Because I could run so fast,
That I could run on water,
So in a race I will never finish last.
Ben i agree with you because when you are suck somewhere you can run home at the speed of light
that cool i want to have super speed too.
As I fly through my city,
I stop petty, little crimes like
Knockout a bank robber,
Get a purse back for an elderly woman,
Use my heat vision to obliterate an immortal being from a parallel universe,
you know, normal things.
Today was different though.
I could feel something big coming.
I search all around my city, but I see nothing,
just extravagant proposals,
well-choreographed flash mobs,
a horde of cyclopes singing like a mariachi band,
you know, normal things.
At the end of a day jam-packed with stopping
56 crimes, a record daily low,
I flew home.
“Hey honey, I’m home!” I exclaim as I bust through the door.
“Good evening sweetheart, how was work?” she asked.
“It was just ok,” I said. “A record daily low.
But I can’t shake this feeling that something
big is looming on my horizon.”
“Oh there is,” said a familiar male voice behind me.
Before I could turn around
BANG!
Black.
I appreciate your use of
Understatement
As if what the speaker does
Is just typical, the usual way
To spend the day.
that is really good!! you should try and make a 2nd part to it
I like the “singing like a mariachi band” metaphor
I like how your focused and help with the little crimes
A mountain of socks stands between me and the TV —
eleven kids by two feet by seven days of cotton static cling.
Cross-legged on the carpet I go to work —
matching, wondering “is this the only purpose I serve.”
“Sarah,” I hear echoing from the tube.
“Sarah, it’s me Mohandas Gandhi.”
I look around,
but there’s no other sound.
None of the eleven
is helping me in the den.
A Hindu, Gujarat, Indian man
draped in spun cotton langoti
sits cross-legged, bare-limbed
on the black and white screen.
“There is no shame in serving others in this way,” he says.
“Purpose, service, happiness
is beyond what you do with your hands.
Happiness is when
what you think, what you say, and what you do are in
harmony.
Serve others lovingly, Sarah.
Be the change you wish to see,Sarah.”
“Sunday, Monday, Happy Days.”
The Fonz winks at me through the screen.
A cotton tube sock rests on my knee.
I smile and return to work on my mountain.
This poem is interesting in the way that
it brings TV into real life.
How a person can personally speak to you
without personally speaking to you.
And socks are so mundane
but as they say,
“Eso si qué es.”
