Thanks! Well, I’m not much of a poet. Superheroes don’t interest me as much anymore so I gotta throw my creative energy somewhere.

I have to disagree, all of the haikus of yours I’ve read are really evocative. Maybe poetry is your superpower? (which, admittedly, is a bit of a shit power compared with stuff like flight and telepathy, but I’d still take it!)
