Spider-Woman! Poem by Denis Martindale

I like Batman and Batwoman,
Batgirl and Robin, too,
So flexible they twist and turn,
That's something I can't do!
Young Spider-Man's got webs to spin,
As he soars to and fro,
They help him stick around to win,
As he 'flies' high and low!
Yes, he's a marvel to behold,
But Spider-Woman's new,
With her strange stories to be told
To those who've got no clue!

And that, of course, applies to me,
How did she get that way?
A spider's bite most logically,
Nuff said, what's more to say?
But this Earth's not the only one
In God's vast multiverse,
And Spider-Woman's job's not done,
For better or for worse!
And though her true names may sound strange
On planets over time,
She's got the newfound chance to change
And new skills in fighting crime!

Street-level fights and martial arts
Look common and mundane,
But often these are how she starts,
To fight what proves insane!
In different costumes, masks and capes,
She faces each new threat.
A better destiny she shapes.
Good folks are in her debt!
Sometimes with beauty to delight
In most tales that unfold,
Brunette or blonde, skin black or white,
She has a heart of gold!

Here is a new poem by the Poemhunter poet Denis Martindale. The title is 'SPIDER-WOMAN! '

This superhero-style tribute poem is about Spider-Woman. The films and TV shows have shown us different versions found in the multiverse stories. She may have different names. Sometimes her costume isn't the famous black and red design seen in Spider-Man movies.

Comic book fans share YouTube videos and film trailers that show the evolution of this strong female character. She may appear as a stunningly beautiful Spider-Man girlfriend with no great expectations of becoming a super-heroine, instead of yet another damsel in distress, or that dress.

Stan Lee, the comic book character creator supremo, appeared in a Spider-Man film and is heard to say, 'One man can make a difference. Nuff said.' Having seen so many films and TV shows, I can also say, 'One woman can make a difference, too.'

Watch YouTube's Zendaya Coleman and Tom Holland film trailers to get some idea of future blockbuster film story ideas and marvel at the spectacles yet to come!
