Okay, this is clearly about Superman. the main problem and it is a big one; the many grammatical errors and poor sentence structures. This is in need of a re-write.

I redid the first stanza to show you how it should be written, in what I'm assuming is a free verse poem.

If you require more help,p lease drop me a line.

notes:

Let me tell you about my hero, fast stripped clothes him, he was a writer; he daily job living life: a paper man.

-should be-

Let me tell you about my hero. He was a writer. His daily job, living life as a paper-man.

I think we all have a different version of what a righteous man is, but righteous means perfect in every way, no flaw, no blemish, yet Superman was in love with Lois Lane who was decidedly flawed, but then, I have no desire to be perfect, it's beyond my flawed capacities anyway, and as you say, to be loyal and faithful. Is all God requires of us anyway, well done, nicely written prose, blessings, Roy

I liked the premise of your piece, TPAC. We all have our heroes, some real, some imagined.
My own personal real life hero is my father. There is nothing Dad hasn't told me that wasn't great advice, misleading, or untrue.

What threw me off a bit was the way in which the wording was composed. The reverse syntax in several areas made this seem like trying to go eighty miles an hour in your automobile over a parking lot filled with speed bumps.
I'm not sure if you were attempting to create some sort of dialect here, or there were other reasons your piece was written this way.
Only you know that for sure.
Still, I got the basic gist of the message you were trying to convey, and that's enough.

    Honesty, love it, a split personality by illustrating Kent as he and Superman as him: pits. Thanking you for generous rate and captivating views.

Hello and smiles TPAC
Frist what a neat picture of Superman when he was child.
and now how you said what he was-

Kent wasn't like us, he was kind to others, a perfect man; no mortal, just loyal: him Superman.
was a very good closure.

Sweet picture of your "hero", a little "Superman".
Great descriptions of a hero, strong, says no all evil and is always kind to others.
Good message.

Blessings

It almost seemed as if this was written through the eyes of a child. His feats were almost legendary. Good rhythm. I liked the style. Great job on the poem. Gretchen

LOVE the way you presented this. Since this is the first I have read of you, I do not know if this is your style, or if it is introduced only in this piece. It has a great cadence -- more than just rhythm -- and, if you haven't already, could easily be marketed to a hip hop artist. Hip, fresh and too cool for FS!

The idea of the poem is great, we all like superman adult and child alike. I only have difficulty with the wording in your poem. You start a sentence with 'him.' Seems strange to me. All the best, Ulla

A great poem about a great man! I love the way you made him human and normal, but that he had the essential characteristics which all people need to shine - kindness, morals and humility. Well played!
