Superman and Juliet

Superman and Lois Lane/Romeo and Juliet

Lois Lane, a nerds Juliet,

Waits on her balcony

For Superman.

Clark Kent descends,

As a nerds Romeo,

Superman!  

Lois walks to him

As he slowly lands.

He speaks words of love

In his Kryptonian language.   

She responds with love

But in English.

As Lois Lane feels

Superman’s body of steel,

She also feels...

A soft touch.  

And after Superman saw

Lois Lane’s graceful walk  

under the flame

That is her body,

They finally - kiss.  

And for the first time in

Lois Lane’s life

She can understand her hearts morse code.

It translates “Clark Kent”

Synonyms are, “Romeo,” “Superman.”  

But he knew the whole time that

His heartbeat translates “Lois Lane,”

Synonym “Juliet.”

and the love affair falls to the archenemy ."tragedy" ... for me this is a delightful read as the nerds and dorks of us rise on super power wings of love ...we do have a chance after all ... very smooth free form and your straight forward language brings the story home clear as a bell ... relating it to Shakespeare is clever ... it works and elevates the whole scene conjured ... so for me! i like it! fun, yet serious.

An interesting analogy between two sets of fictional characters. It could be that when the original Superman story was written the writer had this in mind for the Clark Kent/Lois Lane dichotomy. Very nicely done! take care...dan

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Hmm, nice thought. Thank you very much Dan ... Cyprian.

Really like the comparisons here, it's a different view on how we see romantic couples attracting one another and also appealing to an audience. Both of these stories are ultra romantic but I like that Superman and Lois live in the end...

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Thank you Gentle Breeze for the review! Me too! :)

Things always seem to run more smoothly when the man is certain ... he goes from nerd to superman. A riveting romantic write:)

I like this because it is a very different and interesting idea. Your use of the "nerd" is so good and makes me smile a bit. You've brought it right down to a snapshot of time and it leaves me feeling a smile. This is clear and the message comes through.

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Thank you very! I liked the "nerd" part too, lol. I'm glad it made you smile. :)

Nicely written. A very different style but portraying love, it is a feeling that we can all understand

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!
