Superhero Haiku

tributes in short verse

Watch Superman fly
across the heavens with ease
I wish I could fly

Dark, in the night sky
Batman is the scourge of crime
Look out, crooks, you’re done

Now that’s a hero
that kid is Captain Marvel
By saying SHAZAM!

Deadly, sharp, his claws
His temper rages, watch out
Wolverine heals fast

Sticking to the walls
Whoa, he’s swinging from a web
Look it's Spider-man

She’s Wonder Woman
with cool bulletproof bracelets
and that gold lasso

A star on his shield
He’s Captain America
Go, red, white and blue

Incredible Hulk
He becomes green and is mean
Don’t make him angry

In darkest night, or
in broad daylight, Green Lantern
sees justice is done

She may be pretty
but Supergirl is tough too
she will bust you up

Faster than bullets
Quicker than thought, the Flash moves
Blink and you’ll miss him

The City needs Tick
He’s nigh-invulnerable
and blue is so cool

The Fantastic Four
Invisible and Stretchy
Orange Rock and Fire.

A team of Mutants
They aren’t all freaks, you see
They are the X-Men

With smooth graceful flair
The Green Arrow hits his mark
Snazzy costume, too

Under the water
Marine-life telepathy
Aquaman rules them

He’s pretty agile
Bet you didn’t know he’s blind
He’s called Daredevil

He likes playing cards
He makes them explode you know
cool coat, he’s Gambit

If you are ignorant of the form of haiku, or if you are ignorant of the fact that this is NOT a single long form poem telling a story, please do not waste my time and yours on a "review" for a game of tag.
These are individual haiku, posted together due to common subject matter. Yes, the plural of haiku is haiku. Look it up.
