Bing, Bang, Bong

Here's the deal. This was a title assigned to me in class. I got the title and was told to write a poem about it. So, this is what came out. It's pretty rough, I think, but also fun and very vivid. I'm not sure whose idea the title was, but I'm pretty sure they were not thinking comic books when they wrote it. Anyways, I had fun with it, and here's the poem that came out of it!

Comic book frames

Tiny squares

Full of stillness

Full of action

Superheroes are born

They fly across

Once-white pages

Aiding damsels in distress

Villains make artful entrances

Terrorize the townsfolk

Make faces at the reader

Laugh in the face of trouble

Suddenly—Confrontation

The humble hero

Enters the scene

A fight ensues

The page is cluttered

With loud colors

Bright and gripping

Illustrated duels

Comic sounds

Spring forth

Bing, bang, bong

Whap, pow, bam

Colors mix together

In a Technicolor flash

Leading the reader on

Until the final, frozen frame

The colors slowly fade

Leaving blank, staring space

And the completion

Of a good story
