And He Is
Some think he’s an Angel
Some think he’s a Saint
Some think he’s a genius
With wood and some paint.
Some think he’s a Wizard
Some think he can fly
Some think he can travel
With the blink of his eye.
Some want to believe in him
Some believe he’s a lie
Some believe they can count on him
Some don’t even try.
To me he’s a hero
Just a regular guy
With a heartful of kindness
As big as the sky.
-Pam Tanzey
This poem was written for Writing 201:Poetry. The prompt today is Hero, the Form is a Ballad and the device is Anaphora (a-NAH-fra) means the repetition of the same word (or cluster of words) at the beginning of multiple lines of verse in the same poem. Yay, this time I was able to do all three!
Thanks for stopping by!
