Star-Lord swung into action!

Sketch of Star-Lord: 
Done by Hank’s grandson, Norman. Looking at the sketch 
Norman could have detected that it was not balanced. He by 
instinct must have included a quadrant on the right-hand 
corner to correct the defect, not quite but just.

Star-Lord aka Peter Jason Quill
A fictional character, a superhero appearing in comic books
published by Marvel Comics. Created by Steve Englehart and
Steve Gan, the character first appeared in Marvel Preview #4
(Jan. 1976). The son of a human mother and alien father,
Quill assumes the mantle of Star-Lord, an interplanetary
policeman  -  Wiki

The given words:
burst emit fleece fill sound clown tumble
instill seal wound glass another

A stab of high powered fire-power
appeared out of nowhere
A burst emitting noxious fumes
with a blinding flash

The townspeople had been fleeced dry
But they were still expected to fill the coffers
of the ugly bully who demanded payment
His henchmen sent yet a repeat
Fumes filled the air
amid staccato sounds of gun-fire

No more clowning
Star-Lord swung into action
He tumbled out into the open
He ought to instill discipline
His resolve was set
Just one rapid fire from his bazooka
Sealed the fate of the bully’s men
The dying and wounded laid moaning
amid shrapnels of glass and acrid smoke

Made short work of his intentions
Just another day of action
Law and order triumphed

  7. Your grandson is really a good artist, Hank. I sense he takes after you. Hope we will see some of your art again. As for the poem, what an adventure....but good triumphs in the end.

  21. I love superheroes.. and that sketch.. it reminds me back in time when i was so li'l... i used to draw a lot of superhero characters... i remember i once came up a comic strip entitled "The Mighty Kids"... they were composed of three members: Blue Kid ranger, Red Kid ranger & Pink kid Ranger... what fun... These three kid rangers were set to fight against the evil will of Medussa & Shadowman... ha...I wish i know where I lost that set of comic strips... i'd def be glad to find it again & reread the whole plot... Smiles. Enjoyed your poem today &bonus illustration by Norman...

  28. Really like the joint effort here between you and your grandson. No matter how old we get, we still need heroes that step in to balance the scales of justice. They give us hope.
