It’s been years since I last wrote a sonnet. But, I was given this challenge and, though it took me more time than it should have to post it, I’m happy with the results.
Vengeance and justice all rolled into one
Brewing, consuming, one man’s lonely soul
Silently screaming, that poor orphaned son
Forged in an instant for one tainted role
He stalks through the darkness, born of the night
Hunting through shadows for dangers and crime
When people cry out in desperate plight
He always answers; a hero in time
Facing down criminals thriving on pain
Fighting for justice to break evil’s sway
Beating back villains with noble disdain
Protecting his city, always to stay
Haunted and driven by ghosts that won’t rest
Though only a man, he’s simply the best.
