A Poet Superhero 

Anthony Hanible

I rise at dawn with a mission

Etched in the margins of my mind

A vow written in fire

To guard the world with language

And leave no heart undefended

My pen is a blade of brilliance

Forged in the furnace of truth

When darkness gathers in the alleys

I carve open the night

And let the light pour through

I stride across rooftops of doubt

Cape snapping like a banner of victory

Every footstep a declaration

That despair will not rule this city

While I still breathe

I battle villains made of silence

The ones who steal voices

The ones who shatter hope

And I defeat them with a single stanza

That refuses to bow

When storms rise

I rise higher

When fear roars

I roar louder

When the world trembles

I plant my words like pillars

And hold the sky steady

I am the Poet Superhero

Breaker of shadows

Keeper of courage

Champion of the unseen

And every time I save a soul

With nothing but a line of truth

I remember my greatest power

Not flight

Not strength

Not speed

But the simple

Unstoppable fact

That words can win

    With each line I had memories of the beginning of the superman series as it described the man of steel. Here each line described the man of ink. A lovely write that had overtones of nostalgia and super heroes
