In the murky depths of the swamp so green ... poem by Stefano Donno

In the murky depths of the swamp so green,

Where the creatures crawl and the vines convene,

Lurks a hero with a heart of moss,

A protector of the swamp at any cost.

 

He rose from the muck, a creature so strange,

His form transformed by a dangerous change.

From human to beast, he stood so tall,

With powers beyond, he answered the call.

 

Swamp Thing, they called him, a savior so true,

Fighting for justice, and the environment too.

With his strength and courage, he battles the foe,

Defending the swamp, where the wild things grow.

 

From the depths of the water to the sky up above,

Swamp Thing endures, a hero full of love.

For the land he calls home, he'll always defend,

A protector of nature, a hero till the end.
