Ode to Spiderman
Quick whips of wit, quips
That hide the pain,
A flame on the wick of a candle
Of true blue and furious red
Such a brilliant and leveled head
That being said, your bed
Is often empty and when not,
You're caught between hot
Loves of justice and what
Girl you happen to have sought,
Whether the girl next door or the daughter of a cop,
You unwittingly, unfittingly, slaughter
Every girl with which you talk,
Either through death or neglect
You take time to reflect on the fact
That your life is not yours
You've given your powers to the people
Their opinion of you frail, feeble
And yet you keep the steep fleet of evil
From the world that see you as a menace
Not masked to guard those you love,
Rather to protect those who love you above
All else, that would die to keep your secret
Secret, what secret do you regret?
Keeping a world inside your mind
Makes the world you save hard to find,
Still you find a way to keep away the lies,
You surprise those who regard you with hate and despise,
You say what you may but you save the day,
It's okay to let go of your fate,
Rest now and forever, you're late for the play,
For class and the scientific display,
Think not in your dismay, for your dear aunt May will stay
Come what may,
you still save the day.

A few years back I was in a Creative Writing class. One of my assignments was to write an ode to something. I chose a subject that would please my teacher, as he is a Spiderman fan, however the poem I wrote was just the spiderman song with a few changed words. He was right to write thief on that page. It's been 2 years and I decided to finally right that wrong. Enjoy.
