-------
I was enthralled by each panel
a world in my grasp.
Comic books whisked me
beyond time's clasp.
Starlight's soft shimmer
on planets unknown,
Myths spun with heroes
on quests all their own.
With villains I tangled
with champions I soared.
Their powers I mimicked
their wisdom adored.
Their struggles, their triumphs
their flaws etched so bright
For justice I yearned
with unwavering might.
Batman, the Dark Knight
with gadgets so keen
A silent protector
on Gotham's green scene.
Superman, a symbol
a beacon so bold
Faster than greased lightning
a story evolved.
Spider-Man's humor
with webs I would swing.
Cracking wise as we soared
on laughter's glad wing.
By Thor's mighty hammer
a brother in fight.
Mjolnir held high
'gainst darkness and night.
Doctor Strange muttered
of mystical lore.
Spells cast through dimensions
to heal evermore.
The Hulk, my defender
with thunderous roar.
Smashed foes with a fury
then calmed to the core.
Wonder Woman gleamed
in armor so grand.
Her lasso of truth
a weapon in hand.
The Fantastic Four
a family unbound.
Stretched, flamed, and
rocketed, futures profound.
Aquaman commanded
the ocean's deep hold
Commanded the currents
where secrets are culled.
Iron Man, the genius
with brilliance untold.
Suited for wonders
a future foretold.
The Avengers assembled,
Earth's mightiest band.
Defenders united
a shield in the sand.
Threats that loomed closer
they faced as one whole,
Diverse and courageous
with a single soul.
Maturity murmured
these tales held a key.
Gateways to classics
a vast library.
Verne's fantastical journey
to Earth's fiery core
Witnessed marvels and perils
forevermore.
Dumas' grand vessel
the "Black Pearl" I sailed.
The Count's vengeance plotted
Like a phantom on the waves
a story unveiled.
Cooper's frontier painted
with warriors so brave.
Learned of their struggles
a history to save.
Stevenson's island
with treasure enigmatic.
Long John Silver's rasping
a legend so dramatic.
Les Misérables' sorrow
Moby Dick's chase.
Hamlet's despair
on the battlefield's face.
Hugo's Revolution
a song filled with fire.
Ahab's obsession
a perilous crier.
With Homer's heroes
on battlefields grand.
Their courage unwavering
for freedom they stand.
These frontiers ignited
a passion for lore.
To delve in the classics
and ache for still more.
A reader I blossomed
with genres diverse.
A world view expanded
in beautiful verse.
Comic books
far more than mere paper and ink.
A portal to wonder
a world on the brink.
Distant dimensions
a childhood dreamscape.
Forever a treasure.
a magical space.
This world of heroes
my refuge
my guide.
Now I step forth
with Nick Fury inside.
