I can walk through walls

I can walk through walls

I can walk through walls,
but I can’t balance on a stall.
I can run much faster than a train,
but I can’t stand the touch of the rain.
I can fly like a rocket into outer space,
but I can’t stop my dreams vanishing,
gone, no trace!

I can save a cat from tree,
but I can’t bare unsightly knees.
I can shoot a laser from one eye,
but I can’t bear to harm a fly.
I can swim the deepest oceans,
but I can’t work out my own emotions!

Very good, Mick. You could almost call this On being a boy.

You want bear, not bare, in your second stanza. (Only the second time - the first one is quite clever and funny.)

Cheers

Actually, I've just read it again. It's more of a superhero thing, isn't it?

Nice one Mick,

I enjoyed the contrast of what you can and can´t do.
The structure is also working well with this.

An enjoyable read

thanks

Wouldn't "on being a boy" and "on being a superhero" the same thing?
I would love to hear you read it aloud... with your chest out high and your hands on your hips!
Thanks for the snapshot of youth.

Mick - Nice one, very enjoyable read.....fun and well structured...

One point regarding unslightly knees, I think you may mean unsightly?

Nice one...

There's a touch of melancholy to this which makes it very touching and real. I do like poems with lists and I like this one.
