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

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
Made short work of his intentions
Just another day
of action
Law and order triumphed
never heard of him but i love a hero who fights for what is just.... nice sketch as well... and you know...the older i get, the less i need to have things balanced... smiles... maybe that's just me... happy sunday hank

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.

ReplyDeleteI 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...
