Happy Place

A poem about my happy place. Enjoy!

Happy Place

The cover so crisp and held ever so gently,

Reading about horrors from dark Gotham city,

Each page is met with my wondering eyes,

About a super man who shoots lasers and flies.

Then onto the next taken out from the bin,

A spectacular kid with a web to go spin,

Then a suit made of iron to go save the day,

 And crazy things the merc. with a mouth did say.

Walk into the store and no matter where you look,

They got DC, Marvel and every comic book,

Then I take a deep breath and I let it out slow,

When it comes to "happy places" this is where I go.

So whether yours is playing some frisbee in the park,

Or chilling in that corner coffee house after dark,

Mine is through these doors that I open up and stop,

Smiling with delight at my local comic shop.

I think the lil comics in the newspaper were my escape, this poem gave me a happy and warm feeling. Nice poem.

This was such a fun read. Gotta say, I don't quite figure into the audience that would appreciate this the most, however, that doesn't render this poem any less entertaining than it is. Well done!

Definitely feeling the nostalgia on this one. Comic books were almost every kid's great escape at some point. You captured the feelings and remembrances for the reader. The rhyming and rhythm are tight. Nicely done. Look forward to more of your work.

You go Super Hero! Nothing wrong with fantasy. Love the flow and rhythm. Good rhyming and use of imagery. Very nice.
