Poetry Monday :: Superheroes

Hello! If you're here for my A-Z post for Q, please go back one post.

Poetry Monday is a blogging game invented long ago. Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I are keeping it alive until Diane @ On the Border returns home from her break of health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.

We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.

Today's prompt is: Superheroes

I have written before of my dreamt-up negative Superheroes. Here, here, here, and here.

It is not that they themselves are negative, far from, they're really good superheroes. But their superpower is that everything not belonging toi the place it is in now, lights up in negative colours. This is quite a superpower if you think of it.

But they are a sad bunch in these modern times. I give you

The Superheroes' Lament:
We are the Superheroes, we
We see much more than you do see
And everything that should not be
Light up in colours gaudily

A beer can glows in neon pink
A lost receipt in magic ink
A waste of powers you'll agree
Now think of all that cannot be:

We'd find the keys you lost today
We'd find the kittens gone astray.
But our powers locked stay
on all the crap you throw away.

Negativitet - 4 - Negativity

Kan I huske de negative superhelte? Jeg kan godt, men det er selvfølgelig også min drøm og min blog, og i dag så jeg noget der mindede mig om dem.

     Min drøm: Der fandtes superhelte. Negative superhelte. De var så negative, at når deres blik faldt på noget affald i grøftekanten eller et andet sted, hvor det ikke skulle være, lyste affaldet op i negative farver.

Do you remember the negative supers? No wonder if you don't, I wrote about them over 6 years ago. But I remember - they were my dream after all - and today I was once again reminded of them.

My dream: Supers existed, negative supers. They were negative, very much so, and whenever their eyes fell on garbage in a ditch, the garbage went negative too.

     I dag falder mine negative superheltes blik på fire dåser fra energidrikke. Det er nye, danske dåser med pantmærker på. De kan bare ikke indløses, for der er nogen der har stået eller hoppet på dåserne. De er helt flade.
     Indtil Irma i Helsinge lukkede, var det i den butik et menneske som tog imod pantflasker og -dåser, og altså også dåser der var mishandlede og skæve. Men nu er der kun pantmaskiner alle vegne, og de tager kun imod hele, fine dåser.
     Jeg har flere gange på denne blog skrevet om at panten var for lav - og det er den da åbenbart, når det er sjovere at hærge dåserne end at pante dem.

Today the super vision of my negative supers discovers four cans from some energy drink. Those are new, Danish cans, bearing the deposit mark, but they will never get cashed, as they are made flat by someone standing on top of them. The machine won't accept them.

A bit over four years ago the only supermarket having a human being receiving the cans and bottles was closed. Now we have deposit machines everywhere, and they accept only cans in pristine condition.

More times now I have been agonizing that the deposit is too cheap. I still think I'm right.

Negativitet -- 3 -- Negativity (1. november)

Superhelten har haft sin lærling med ude og kigge på dåser.

The super brought the sidekick along looking at old cans.

November - 30 dage - 30 indlæg. Udfordring fra Sue Elvis. Lad os se, hvad der sker. Jeg skriver i hvert fald ikke en bog.

November NaNoWriMo - 30 days - 30 blogposts. Challenge by Sue Elvis. I don't know if I can do it. And I'm sure, I won't write a book.

Today's Photos

     I dag var der nogle meget flotte blomster i grøftekanten ved vores busstoppested.

Today we saw some pretty flowers while waiting for the bus.

     Så kom de negative superhelte forbi. De kunne ikke finde noget affald, derfor kastede de deres skumle blik på de smukke blomster, men de er lige smukke, hvad vej farverne ende vender, så de negative superhelte pilede af igen.

Then the Negative Supers arrived.They did not find any trash nearby, and took a look at the pretty flowers instead. But the flowers remained pretty every way. The Negative Supers left in a hurry.

Negativitet -- 2 -- Negativity

     De negative superhelte slår til igen. Denne gang har dåsen den farve, Uglemor drømte om. Og søreme om ikke den bliver øldåsegrøn, når superheltene kigger på den.

The negative supers strike again. This time they've found a can having just the colour from MotherOwl's dream. And yes. It turns beer can green when the supers look at it.

Negativitet -- Negativity

     Natten til i går havde Uglemor en underlig drøm. Der fandtes superhelte. Negative superhelte. De var så negative, at når deres blik faldt på noget affald i grøftekanten eller et andet sted, hvor det ikke skulle være, lyste affaldet op i negative farver.
     Der var især en Tuborgdåse, der gjorde indtryk på Uglemor ved at få en meget karakteristisk lyslilla-metalpink nuance.

During the night between Friday and Saturday MotherOwl had a dream. A very vivid dream. Supers existed, negative supers. They were negative, very much so, and whenever their eyes fell on garbage in a ditch, the garbage went negative too.
A beer can in a caracteristic purple-meltallic-pink colour stuck in MotherOwl's brain.

Se bare her:
And look:

Kan I se superkræfterne?
Do you see the superpower?
