Raise your hand if you’re slogging through April’s Poem a Day Challenge. I don’t care if you have only done a few, or if you have one for every day of the month so far. Just one poem written in April qualifies you to raise your hand.
I wasn’t sure how many I would be able to eek out but I’m doing better than I thought. I’ll post a tally when the month is over. In the meantime. Here’s an April poem for the prompt: “write a superhero or supervillain poem.” Mine was inspired by recent events.
Muskrat
You’re a mean one, Mr. M
Buying billion-dollar tech toys
shooting rockets into space
while ignoring the poverty
that your money could erase
Your brain is full of rocket fuel
Does your heart even beat?
You’ve got greed in your soul Mr. M
I wouldnโt talk to you with a
two-hundred-forty-character tweet
Do you heat your fortress
with hundred-dollar bills?
Youโre a mean one Mr. M
in your house up in the hills.
If you ask the homeless and hungry
or anyone without money
none of them would deny
you’re a vile one, Mr. M
I hope someone spits in your eye
Love your parody of Mr
Grinch. Have written several poems this month but no superheros or villians.

I hope Mr M sees it not that he will change his ways. Maybe his wife will do like Bill Gate;’s wife did, get a divorce and give away millions to help people.
