Quick Sonnets: At Superhero 101 with Maven Hawk (a.k.a. The RAVER!) / The Harbinger of Inkling (exclusive)

At Superhero 101 with Maven Hawk (a.k.a. The RAVER!)

Some hay awoke me, katzenjammer loud
and whirling. Swish by my ear - fooh. It lit
the wall. Had I had half the time allowed
I could have stifled it. I could not hit
a barn door, though, for all my drowsing senses.
This circumstance crops up on training day:
time-shackled managers cut loose, climb fences,
dream big, don capes, oh bright menagerie!

The right sightline can bend your arrow home.
Remember how to see through grit and gauze.
A shimmy-belt will do, and with a comb,
your hair shall not distract. And just because
your super powers manifest as muscle,
well, so do ours. Now, let me see some hustle.

Quick sonnet. I'm hoping to pitch this as a movie.

The Harbinger of Inkling

Hark! Back to the airport remains! Alack,
the mule retreat explicitly denied
my way. I feared I would not make it back
to register my ticket. Pick your ride
like you would pick your girlfriend, or a wife.
I guess a mile or two would change the map
I had in '89. It changed my life
of woe and pain, just like a thunderclap.
I'm lying. I am prepping fluted shrooms,
won't take a minute. Oh, I've been remiss,
my hosting duties! Howzyerdringg? Those booms
will calm themselves. I have seen worse than this.
Vodka. He shook his head against the thought.
Return, go back. They'll scan it. You'll be caught.

Um, quick sonnet. So bad, it's going exclusively to my blog. I'll be revising, of course.
