SPAG: his daily job, living life. A paper man. He bent bar steel with his bare hands. He was a giant amongst others; beloved. He stood as a common man. "he was humble, brave and true. The line starting with "Him to save lives." doesn't make sense. Why do you start a sentence with Him? In ordinary English, it should be "He leapt over buildings etc. Your grammar and English needs attention: fix it up and I will look at it again. Thank you for sharing.

    You're right, placed target points for revision -him as he: trying to convey the dual existence. Thanking you for generous rate and captivating comments.

An interesting piece, loyalty a strong theme but just as prominent is the notion of a quiet achiever. This poem seems to me to suggest that the greatest heroes are those that go about their own business, helping other's without needing any hoo ha or back slapping gratitude from society. My kind of heroes.

I'm sorry but this so hard to read and I don't understand any of it. Have you read it aloud? It is full of grammar problems and it doesn't make sense. If you change it, let me know and I will re-rate.

He was my hero too, along with Roy Rogers. Something about those traits of morals, restraint, tenderness and toughness, packaged in good looks set a high bar. Something to strive for but not really fair to expect among mortals

I don't understand all those "hims" and "thems" They are so inappropriate and in error in grammar. Are they that way on purpose? I don't know? Your notes don't say. I have to assume they are spags...what else? Sorry. Unless I had an explanation. Told as a child? I don't know, you didn't say? Tony Bronk

I did enjoyed your poem. But it was hard to understand throughout your piece. My recommendation try using NaturalReader: it's software that read your material to you. That's how I edit, dealing with Dysgraphia.

I really like your story.

The meaning and flow are great.

The pictures you paint with your words are splendid. My only recommendation is that you read it over and correct grammatical errors.

Please look at the words "He," "Him," "His." Unless this poem is written through the eyes/ affectation of the child in the photo.)



upgraded to 5 stars. Thank you for the clarification. Totally makes sense! : )

    Not really a child, but attempt to separate Kent as he and Superman as him: pits. Thanking you for generous rate and captivating thoughts.
