Poem of the Week

Ode to the Bat

By Aldo Gomez

I love your scowl.
Biff bam zow
Let me under your cowl.
Love me now.

My buddy Aldo works in a comic book store next to the city library. He texts me the other day: "It sounds like they're doing slam poetry here outside the library. I have people wandering in the store waiting for it."

I think that's funny, so I respond, as if I were a customer, "Excuse me, but is there a poetry reading in here? I hope it's about Batman."

Then Aldo wrote a poem about Batman. The end.
