the incredible hulk
Location
he is tall
he is powerful
he is ferocious
he is angry
he is strong
he can break anything
he can lift anything
he can stomp everything in his sights
he is mean
but he is not green
instead he is anyone's father who is abusive
instead he is anyone's father who is a monster
a father with no remorse
continues the beatings of a love one that is far worse
continues to insults so cold that comedians will leave in tears crying
a child living off fears of dying
when the hulk is calm, he metamorphosizes back to david banner
when a daddy is calm, he is relax, but by that time, his wife is left on the ground lifeless with no hope

This is a truly amazing poem. You started it off by describing the hulk, who although a powerful superhero, is only that powerful when he lets his anger get the better of him, and you go on to attribute these characteristics to an abusive father who appears to have two sides to him. Usually when individuals think of superheroes they think of people who are willing to save everyone rather than destory them, so with a title like "The Incredible Hulk" I initially thought this poem would be about being strong, powerful, and in some sense helping others. Instead, you put a twist on this idea, and you really make the reader realize how everyone has two sides to their personality and we have to learn to keep them in check, just like The Hulk. Great job!
