I wear a cape
where ever I go
and pretend that I'm
a super hero.
I run and I fly
and I do good deeds
I have everything
a super hero needs.
I have a compass
a clothes pin and string
a magnifying glass
and a decoding ring.
So if you want
to come play with me
put on your cape
and we'll climb a tree.
I have a young friend who is at that stage where he always wants to wear a cape. He likes to jump on the bed, and the couch to pretend he is flying. I remember when I wore a cape and pretended to be Superman. I saved the box tops from the cereal and sent them in with my 25 cents for a red Superman belt. Everyday I checked the mail waiting for the belt to arrive. Did you ever wear a cape?
Your challenge for today is to write a poem about a character you've imagined yourself to be. I'm thinking this might be time for an acrostic. Do have fun.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteI bet your Superman belt would be worth far more than a quarter now. I recall when our younger grandson wanted to wear his cape every evening at home. Good memory!
Yes, Linda, but didn't you want to wear a cape too?
ReplyDeleteEven my play nurse's outfit had a cape with a big red cross on it. I had a Little Golden book, NURSE NANCY and a small medicine case to hold my candy pills, thermometer, stethoscope and syringe.
