Super

Superpowers? Let’s make a list,

Cause all of them, I think I missed,

Like super strength, for that I’d opt,

When I think of the stack of plates I dropped!

And other things, like super speed?

To do my chores, for that, I’d plead,

And super sight? With super eyes

I’d wear my specs just for disguise!

Hmmm…super smell? That may be mine,

Cause stinky stuff I smell just fine.

But what would give life seasoning?

Why, super thought and reasoning!

Command of elements, that’d be neat,

And flying would be oh, so sweet!

And swimming without needing breath,

Yep. Nothing that would cause my death!

If I could live a long, long time,

With super life, that would be fine,

Just think of all that I could do,

The learning and the skills accrue...

But wait. If I am still around

When all I love are ‘in the ground’,

Now how exciting would that be

If I lost friends and family?

You know, I’ll stick with what I’ve got,

My aching joints and tangled thoughts,

My power fits me like a glove,

My super power, friends, is LOVE! 

Karen asks, "Write for me, please?"

We write because we like to please!

And we love her, you know that’s true,

So this is what we writers do . . .

We craft a poem based on a theme,

With pencils, sharp, and eyes agleam,

Each month we write and have such fun

We can't wait for another one,

With 'Super Power!' how did I do?

Now, go and see the others, too:
