A poem inspired by my fascination with stories.
Amazing Stories

To fiction and

All tales of wonder.

Glory to the tales of high adventure.

Thrill to those who selflessly help

The innocent (even if they have no reason to)



And to those barbarians,

Through carnage, accomplishing

Their virtuous goals



Chills—from those strange monsters

That emerge from the mist; the

Stuff of nightmares.



Spills—blood shed by the Avenging

Angels who stalk the night, be they

Thugs, mugs, crooks, vigilantes,

Anarchists, or

Detectives.



Thrills—The four-color page; the horror tales,

The funny animals, the lurid crime tales,

The parodies and romances,

The robots, spacemen, and superheroes.

In their own way, being—

Brave, bold, swooping, saving, kissing,

Bashing, smashing, villain-catching.

Inspiring us all to do and be better.



These are the stories

I prefer, because they’re better

Than my story.
